Rosalía, Taylor Swift or Bad Bunny are much more than just musical artists, they are also symbols of an era in which everything, including culture, can also be a way of doing politics.
Every album, video clip or public appearance sparks debates about feminism, identity or class. Of the spirituality of Lux to the reclamation of what is Latin and of Puerto Rican culture I should have taken more photos, from Frida Kahlo to Dante Alighieri, from JK Rowling’s anti-trans speeches to the political impact of pop artists, each work is reinterpreted today from new ideological trenches.
In a context marked by the polarization and commercialization of social struggles, popular culture acts as a mirror of contemporary tensions. Any creative gesture is analyzed and discussed but: can we enjoy art without thinking about what it represents?
