The Louvre (FIRST public museum of Art) was opened during the French revolution as a token of a democratic change….With the Louvre Abu Dubai construction, the museum is currently advocating the continuing exploitation of migrant workers in the name of global capitalist culture.
Thank you for demonstrating how art does not have to be limited to the aesthetic domain in an a-political way, but may also speak to social injustice as one more tool to make this a better world for everyone.
