    Think of two people - one wealthy, one underprivileged.

    Do you think it's possible


    to know which one of these has a greater artistic potential? you can't, because
    determining a person's artistic potential and creative ability on the basis of the
    weight of their wallet is impossible. Art and creativity depend on originality,
    imagination and ingenuity.

    i am fatima z rahman and i stand firmly against the motion

    Traditionally, society has ignored the voices and opinions of people from poorer
    backgrounds and their narratives have been largely ignored and excluded from
    discourse. Marginalised narratives such as those of people who live in slums, of
    children working as ragpickers and of those who work a 16-17 hour shift for a
    small wage are brought to the forefront through creative expression. Whether it
    was painter Claude Monet in the 1880s or Dalit art today, art and creativity have
    been used as a powerful tool by those living in poverty not only to highlight their
    experiences, but also as a symbol of resistance against the suffering and
    inequality they face on a daily basis.

    In contrast to artistic fields, pursuing a career in a technical or scientific field is


    impossible without having formal education, as you cannot become a doctor
    without a degree. However, creating art does not necessarily require training, and
    is rather something that can be achieved by hard work, original thinking and
    perseverance. I am sure the proposition will come up here and say that art
    requires skill development and I agree, but these skills don’t need to be
    developed in an expensive three-four years at university.

    An example to support the fact that art is for all, are our very own indigenous art
    forms, which have provided many poor communities their source of earning. Art
    forms like Madhubani, Chikankari and block printing have existed for centuries
    and have in fact sustained the livelihoods of entire communities for millenia

    Just like how you don’t need spotify premium to experience music, you don’t
    require a hefty bank balance and a huge mansion to experience art. Art is all
    around us and the very beauty of art is that it is subjective. You don’t need to go
    to an art gallery or a museum to consume art. Saying that the only way to
    consume artistic media is by buying a million dollar painting isn’t just incorrect but
    it completely goes against the idea of art.

    To conclude, all I'd like to say is that art is a form of self expression. Expression of
    thoughts, opinions and ideas, and is a fundamental right that is guaranteed to
    every single one of use by the constitution. Just because a person is poor, do
    they not deserve to express their feelings and emotions? I leave it to the house to
    decide

    Refutation -

    ● Team proposition has continually pointed out that privileged individuals


    have a higher exposure to different art forms and are bound to be good
    artists, but this point does not stand because art is always present in our
    surroundings, whether it’s in the form of music playing on the radio, a
    mural on a wall, the clothing styles of different people on the road are all
    art and a person irrespective of their economic background is always
    consuming art

    ● Another point that has been brought up is the fact that studying art at a
    higher education institution is expensive and that poorer people cannot
    afford it, but as i mentioned in my speech earlier and i do again, is that it is
    not absolutely necessary to have a degree in art to be a professional artist.
    One can develop their skills through hard work and perseverance and if
    required, shorter course
