Artwashing VS Activism What Radiohead Got Wrong
For exclusive content and early access to the intended cut of my long form vids consider joining my Patreon linked here: / squarecymbals
Examining the discography of Brit Art Rock giants Radiohead. Here we go through every Radiohead studio album. We then discuss the scrutiny Radiohead faced during the lead up to their 2016/17 show in Tel Aviv, Israel. We then the discuss Thom Yorke's reaction to a pro Palestine protestor during a Melbourne, Australia show, as well as Johnny Greenwood's decision to play Tel Aviv last year with Dudu Tassa. We define the terms BDS and Artwashing and tackle the narrative of state violence and oppression. Finally we breakdown the artist and their responsibility to seek solidarity for the purposes of liberation.
