i have decided on my topic for my dissertation that i have to write next year (starting research in the summer!). i will write about the role art plays in a revolution. i want to look at the russian revolution and at the revolution that is happening now in venezuela. i have found a lot of interesting literature about the russian revolution and art already. there is really fantastic revolutionary ceramic work with slogans and symbols etc. propaganda, of course. and there are the posters etc. in venezuela there are a lot of murals, which are beautiful and i have also found several interview with artists about their work and the revolution and how they relate to it. it is going to be very interesting to work on, i think...i just hope that the tutors are going to accept my proposal.
they say that if there is no tutor that can help with the research i have chosen, i have to find something else. so, keep your fingers crossed for me, that it will be alright.
