Should Artists Take Political Stances? A Spanish Street Poll Reveals Divided Opinions In a recent informal poll conducted on the streets of a Spanish city, opinions were divided on whether artists should use their platforms to express political views. The short video, shot on May 29th, 2025, shows a diverse range of people offering their perspectives. Many believe artists have a responsibility to speak out on important issues. "I'm in favor," says one young woman, "Artists have a voice and should use it." However, not all agreed. One young man stated, "I disagree with artists taking sides that promote certain ideologies that don't contribute to life." The video's simplicity and direct engagement with the public make it a valuable snapshot of current social sentiment in Spain.
