After attending the talk by Hassan Mahamdallie, I have come out of the event learning a lot more about the arts and what the arts is really supposed to be. The diversity in the field of Arts is misrepresented according to Mahamdallie, that throughout many works of art only the Western plays are supported and many others are undervalued over history. Another important outcome of this talk is the explanation of the standpoint theory, where people that are marginalized have a larger view of diversity than those that are not. Overall, it was an eye-opening discussion about diversity and the arts and my perspectives about Art have widened.
