The rules of taste enforce structures of power, wrote author and literary critic Susan Sontag, summing up every criticism levelled against artistic creations enjoyed by the masses. While the artistic world — cinema, theatre, music and visual arts — have often been divided into masses and classes, the sixth edition of Splash 2023, a nation-wide art festival seeks to change this perception. With exhibitions, displays and discussions across genres, ideas and forms, the festival hopes to catch the eye of the newcomers interested in art.
