Vertebral Column S01E04 · Pela arte

Overview

In “Pela arte”, the text questions how culture has distanced itself from ordinary people and gradually transformed into a territory protected by elitist discourses. Using satire as a tool to dismantle symbolic power, the text denounces the hostility many feel towards museums, galleries, and cultural spaces, where “you don’t like it because you don’t understand it” has replaced dialogue. By arguing that the public's experience should prevail over the authority of the “experts,” the column asserts a clear ethical position: art only fulfills its purpose when it belongs to the world and to people—and when it ceases to do so, it begins to die.
