Or maybe you've seen a performance that left you wondering, Who was this even for? In this episode of Working It Out Across Generations, we dive into the fascinating question: Does art need to be understood by everyone to still be considered art? Inspired by the massive range of reactions to the Super Bowl halftime show, we explore how people interpret artistic expression, the role of gatekeepers in the art world, and why some works resonate deeply while others leave audiences confused. From music and dance to graffiti and poetry, we’re asking: Who gets to decide what counts as art? We also break down three things you should do when you don’t understand an artistic piece—and three things you absolutely shouldn’t. Plus, we tackle the age-old question: Should artists create for everyone or just for a specific audience? Join the conversation in the comments!
