As part of my bachelor's degree in Art college I had to write a thesis on a subject of my own choosing. If you're not familiar, ever wondered what an Art college thesis might be like? I chose to write my thesis on the reasons why a form of contemporary socially engaged art, called Dialogical Art, came about. In this episode I read out and discuss the thesis that I wrote. Some of the topics include: Guy Debord's book called Society of the Spectacle; some past forms of socially engaged art; why Installation Art came about; Relational Aesthetics and Dialogical Art practices.And here are some other words that come up in discussion in relation to this kind of art: Socially engaged art, Community art,Experimental communities, Interventionist art, Participatory art,Collaborative art, Contextual art, Useful art, and Social practice.Some key writers in relation to these types of art are: Claire Bishop, Grant Kester and Nicolas Bourriaud.If you like this episode, or any other episodes, and would like to show support or appreciation, then you could buy me a drink over on Patreon, just search Oralotium there, cheers ✌️🙏 Hosted on Acast.

I read out live and discuss a well known essay called Civil Disobedience, by Henry David Thoreau. It is still as relevant today as it was when it was first written in 1849. This essay was a major influence on Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King in their use of non-violent, peaceful protesting. I thought it was appropriate to read this essay now because of the current, worldwide protesting that is calling for a ceasefire of the genocidal, Nakba 2.0 situation in Gaza right now.

In this episode I explore three of the most popular myths from the earliest known civilization on the planet, which was located in Mesopotamia, called, Sumeria. This civilization basically produced the foundations for every other civilization that followed on the planet. They are enigmatic and tantalizing stories that rocked the world when they were rediscovered in the mid 19th century. Who created the world and mankind, and why? Here's an alternative creation story. The Enuma Elish (The Epic of Creation), Atrahasis and The Epic of Gilgamesh.
