how can you ask Agnés Varda about feminism and then show these works that are obviously not made or earned by the people who do profit off them now? There are so many nations asking to get their culture back from the people who tortured, enslaved and murdered countless humans on other continents. How is this something you can ignore while still talking about the struggles of the oppressed?
@@d.l.7399 I do not see how slavery and cultural theft can be seen differently. When I visit Persepolis & see what little is left and still not returned from London museum.... Many countries have been ripped off their cultural heritage and still are being robbed. While there are wars, big investors use the time to buy the art of other cultures illegaly off the black market. Being robbed of your history, culture and art is very harsh believe me. I do not think you ever realized the consequences.
@@drachin8595 I understand. At this point in our cultural 'evolution' everything's right in your argumentation. But when you look back in history, most views where viewed in a different angle of money, power, prestige. In short: understanding the past we should agree the standpoint of a world culture. By the way: it's a fact, that most items would have been destroyed, if they were not brought to the museums, the collectors, etc.
@@d.l.7399 well firstly that means giving that art back now & not displaying it as your own - following your logic. and secondly: no. There has never been a time were cultural genocide and robbery was ok. There have always been people fighting against that. Violence has always been violence. Your last point is so funny. So the only people who have museums & honour historic art are Europeans? what? Even if that was true, it does not give anyone the right to sell or display robbed art. Honestly, if you still after all this defend this behaviour against the greek, nigarian & sooo many other governments who demand their art back, I do not see that you can treat humans from other parts of the world as your equal. There is no point in arguing.
@@drachin8595 sorry, when one knows history, he sees the process in thinking, behaving. In this case for example 'robbed' art. From our point of view, today, one could say everything about a specific historic period, but, those people were in a different time, atmosphere and 'zeitgeist'... But I can understand what you're saying...
