Resistance comes from a position where voices are muted, erased and oppressed. It could be ideas, communities or ethnicities that will be resisting through arts, says eminent Carnatic musician T.M. Krishna.
Mr. Krishna was delivering a speech on ‘Cultural resistance through arts’ at a programme to remember social activist Prof. M. Muraleedharan in Thrissur on Tuesday.
“Why most oppressed sessions of society are in a perpetual state of cultural resistance? Because there is no other way they can draw the attention of the rest of society. They have to tell the world that their existence is in jeopardy,” he said.
