What is Cultural Hegemony and Street Art Crisis about?
The document discusses cultural hegemony and the role of art and artists in society. It argues that under conditions of crisis, state institutions and corporations seek to co-opt art and exclude independent voices in order to maintain the status quo and social consent. A recent street art festival in Athens organized by a state university and local government invited foreign artists but excluded local Greek artists, in an attempt to commodify public art and control the discourse around the economic crisis.
