ABSTRACT

“To disrupt the existing system of dominant values and to challenge the very foundation of a social and cultural order is not merely to destroy a few prejudices or to reverse power relations within the terms of an economy of the same. Rather, it is to see the revolving door of all rationalizations and to meet head on the truth of that struggle between fictions. Art is a form of production. Aware that oppression can be located both in the story told and in the telling the story, an art critical of social reality neither relies on mere consensus nor does it ask permission from ideology.”
