Artists who take funding cannot have pure autonomy ..... "If artists are there just to achieve a certain government agenda, they're just like pets. That's not what I understand artists to be - if we want artists to be pets, that's not the full gamut of artistic expression."

Note the beautiful imagery below....perfect for BANGING and for weaving into your Spoken Interaction part of the Oral -- like adding a splash of colour to your writing or speech...But note that it is only local arts that can bind one to one's roots (r/f Q1 below):
