ellaguro's video: Beyond The Filter 15 - Art and Activism with Kumars Salehi

Greetings! On this episode I talk with Kumars Salehi: a leftist activist, PhD student, and co-host of the excellent podcast Delete Your Account. We talk about Kumars's background in film studies and my own history in videogames, the inherently conservative nature of a lot of art and the long history of the troubled relationship between making art as a model for progressive political ideology, and the role that art and culture can play in a more fair and just society. This is a long episode but I think it's a good one and it was fabulous to have him on! you can follow Kumars on twitter here: http://www.twitter.com/KumarsSalehi you can follow Delete Your Account's episodes here (among other places): http://deleteyouraccount.libsyn.com support it on Patreon here: http://www.patreon.com/deleteyouraccount and follow it on twitter here: http://www.twitter.com/deleteuracct
