Art Is All Context feat. Pierre Bourdieu

·45 min·1 clip
Women and outsiders downplay their art because the system doesn't grant them credibility.
Artist and educator Sari Shrike examines how context and cultural capital determine whose art gets taken seriously. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's philosophy of habitus and class distinction, she explores why women and outsiders feel they must earn legitimacy in fine art. Through personal story of family dyslexia and breaking generational patterns via education, Shrike reveals how credentials function as social capital shields, then teaches listeners to deconstruct this system for artistic empowerment.
