Are You Creating Barriers to Your Art?
Episode 4
Sunday, 31 March, 2019
On this episode of the Modern Medium Podcast, we are exploring barriers: might artists inadvertently create these barriers to their art? And how does this affect its experience? Barriers Barriers can be anything: a blind person who can’t see the art, or someone with a learning disability who might not understand the art in the way that it was intended. But they can still experience art in other ways that you might not expect, and so in this way, art can be accessible to anybody. It’s just a matter of creating that space. On communicating Art is not always going to be clearly communicated across all platforms. It might offend. It might cause stress or tension. And that’s part of the learning process as both artist and viewer: each of our experiences are different, and so the ways in which we access art will naturally be different too. As artists, we can’t control how people will react, so a big thing is keeping your art true to yourself. Being true to yourself Trying to communicate what’s inside of you is in itself a barrier: it’s going to reach some people and not others. There might be backlash. As an artist, it’s a balancing act of staying true to yourself and the art that you practice, but keeping in mind that not everybody will be able to access it. By virtue of understanding that, artists can grow and change their art — but it’s important not to censor it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
