Aesthetic Resistance

Authors

Kristina Šević

Synopsis

This paper explores the relationship between art and politics, focusing on the ways in which art can resist repressive regimes and inspire the struggle for freedom. It begins with the question of freedom and the resistance that emerges from its loss, leading to a discussion on the role of art in political change—i.e., aesthetic revolutions. These ideas will be illustrated with examples from Slovenian and Serbian culture. Finally, the author argues that in the context of artistic freedom, the form of an artwork is more significant than its content.
