ART?


I believe that art is important because you can communicate your ideas, you can give messages with it. So I see it as a tool for change, I think through art you can make people more conscious, of course you have to complement it with a lot of other things in order to change things, but it is part of it. 


I enjoy art a lot because of it´s beauty, and it´s creative potential. I mean, I value creativeness and the way art breaks, in some cases, with the standards and the hegemonic conceptions of itself. 
  
I like to visit art museums, but I don´t do it very often. I think a couple of times a year it´s a reasonable amount of times to visit a gallery or a museum.

My favourite art expression is graffiti and muralism, because it is out of the academy and it is, in general, a collective learning process in the street. It is true that tags are not pretty, but there are a lot of other kind of graffiti that it is worth knowing. Another thing I like about graffiti it is that this art expression is a way of civic disobedience and it is, most of the times, against the established and hegemonic social order.
