This world will go to any extent for protesting and supporting the political system, academic structure, health issues, rights of BABAs and another 100 million similar things. Which is technically good and i whole heartedly appreciate it. But, at times what i fail to understand is where do these activists, social workers etc go when it comes to standing for FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. Why is that there is no protest when a paiting is ban? Why is it that no protest or rally or something similar takes place when an artist is arrested just because he/she had expressed their views through an artistic medium? Why is it so easy to harass an artist worldwide? Is pursuing art in any form a crime?
It is a well known fact that all these bureaucrats will never allow expression to prevail because they themselves are scared of it. Simple reason being: The world will come to know about their deeds. But one expects NGOS, Art & Culture organiations to behave in an unbiased manner. Alas! These organizations have also turned hopeless. No organization has the courage to stand for and by EXPRESSION. Whether it's a painter, dancer, musician, writer etc each one of them will be harassed and supressed simply because they have a different point of view and have the guts to express it through artistic mediums unlike goons and hooligans who resort to violence and blood shed in order to express or convey their point of view.
Beauty of expression lies in complexity of art. Dance, music, painting etc also express anger happiness and many other emotions and ideologies, its just that some understand and some dont, which is again okay. Everybody has their own perception about things, you see.
But does that mean you ban their precious works of art?
Does that mean you force an artist to quit their field of art?
Does that mean you dont allow expression to prevail?
OR
DOES IT SIMPLY MEAN THAT EVERY OTHER PERSON IS A HYPOCRAT WHO WANTS ART TO EXIST BUT DOESNOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO FACE THE POWER OF EXPRESSION.
If this is the level of hypocricy that exists, I think art in all forms will soon be an EXTINCT CONCEPT!
