politics certainly influences art how does it do you feel it affects it and how do you believe it will affect it for you why I think you know when all else is failing art can be a voice uh but even art can be silence and we have to be careful that that doesn’t happen because uh when we start to lose voices like that even outside of politics um we’re in real danger so I I I’m just hoping that the Arts do still have a voice going forward and and are brave enough that we are all brave enough to uh use it and whatever way that means you know but that that we have the freedom and and the ability to do so
