“Art is not a mirror to hold up to society but a hammer with which to shape it.” – Leon Trotsky. The crux of Trotsky’s quote is that art should drive change not just reflect the status quo. We believe that art can perform both functions at once. Art can be the mirror that reflects the society in order to shape it. In this case, reflection is not an end in itself but a means to nudge society in a different direction. That’s pointing out the problem and prescribing the solution. It’s highlighting anomalies and offering normalcy. It’s calling out limiting beliefs and suggesting liberating ones. Our next exhibition, A Tale of Shared Experiences is about all this and more.
