As members and supporters of queer, BIPOC, disabled, and racialized communities, the Ruckus Women aim to facilitate the sharing and creation of ant-establishment art, dismantling oppressive institutions and empowering those not being given a seat at the table. On this episode of Purple Glow Pod, we talk with Ruckus Women Collective about anti-establishment art and what decolonizing the arts means/looks like.

S2/EP2 - Art for Art's Sake

[https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59013733bf629ab07079fc21/1c92ed2f-c97f-4fa5-a278-8d59e2b7e898/1.png?format=1000w] Find it on Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/purple-glow-pod/id1606423605?i=1000550003210] and https://open.spotify.com/episode/4ewk1hRHiveTWI7XIDuHOqSpotify [https://open.spotify.com/episode/2gBhtCGFHmCSdAUQTLtxf5]. Art for art’s sake, or l’art pour l’art, is a philosophy that originated in France in the early 19th century that suggests the purpose of art is not to serve some higher moral, cultural, or political purpose; rather, the value lies in the artistic pursuit itself. This bohemian slogan inspired a movement advocating that art needs no justification. On this episode, we chatted with Josh Gallina, the artistic director of Bloody Nails Cinema, about creating for the sake of creating and allowing love of an art form to be reason enough to pursue it.
