How to upset artists!
Tell them that athletes are as significant as they are when it comes to social and cultural contributions to society!
Woooow! Suddenly the body language shifted and the possibility of this thought blocked! Most fascinating!
The context was a conversation with two artist friends, one who was complaining that their son was a jock and hated art. I suggested that sport is as valid as art and that athleticism and artistic expression are equally important contributions to society.
eeek! the silence was deafening!
