Artists, Capitalism and the Fight to be Valued
The argument around the pros and cons of capitalism are once again in the limelight. And for good reason. There is a complex, necessary conversation around the mindset and systems that both lift up and break down society. While I am not here to speak to the global ideological or political beliefs around capitalism, I do want to acknowledge how capitalism works against artists and how the fight for a sustainable, creative future is actually playing the system at its own game and potentially our only option to move forward.
