Art Should be Limited?? by Astrid Ayora

I'm starting to wonder if a free art magazine should have the content available for all kinds of public or if it should say it includes nudity, sometimes gore and sometimes violent paintings? Should art justify itself? I think parental advisory sucks, cause when I was underage, I loved Heavy Metal. Even without knowing any English, I adored the images and art. It didn't matter they were sometimes related to sex.

As a matter of fact, pornography and violence was more accessible on TV and parabolic channels that were free at that time. It was also outside my house when people insulted each other on the street while driving as maniacs or when I received punishments and speeches after doing something wrong. Sometimes, people underestimate children. They are little people but not stupid, and parents should let them be aware there is a weird world outside that they will have to meet someday. Sometimes parents are the ones to blame for not being able to explain better what they fear about the rest of the people.

Discovering art is like discovering a new way that people communicate. Its the easiest way to acknowledge violence and fear, to know nudity, to understand abstract thoughts and grow up. Reading comics and mangas opened a lot of people minds to start conversations, to have things in common, to believe in an utopia that hasn't arrived yet to our worlds. Some comics talk about history. Some of them talk about biographical. They use empathy to make us feel like the main character. We live through other people adventures. They create new existential theories. There is a lot of psychology inside art. They represent a time, a vision, a dreamworld, a mind and a personal experience all mixed together.

I don't know why people are so scared of red colours, or dark or ugly faces. Maybe those are the people that believe in, and fear monsters under their bed even when they are over 18 years old.
