on Thin Ice: The Deterioration of Academic and Artistic Freedom'. It's a 
reflective manifesto on the changes happening within the halls of 
academia and the art world. The text is publicly available, open to 
everyone.

Poetic License on Thin Ice: The Deterioration of Academic and Artistic 
Freedom

by Alice Miceli

The sanctuaries of inquiry, academia and the art world, are undergoing a 
quiet revolution, a storm of change that threatens the very fabric of 
creativity and intellectual freedom

As an artist firmly rooted in the unfathomable yet urgent dialogue 
between human civilization and the landscapes it shapes and is shaped 
by, I see the unequivocal need to stir the hushed corridors of current 
debate with a call to arms—a rally against the constraints that bind the 
creative spirit, leaving it flayed, dispossessed, and unrecognizable.

The present state of art carries the weight of a double-edged sword. The 
evolution of global connectivity, while a boon, also shackles the artist 
to a pervasive, unceasing judgment. Art, traditionally a reflection of 
society and a crucible of its varied vibes, is now subjected to a 
ceaseless critique that shades its once flamboyant palette with caution 
and compliance. The air grows thick with the collective exhale of 
censored voices, while the dialogue diminishes into echoes of approved 
statements. To this, I declare: we stand at the crossroads of a crucial 
decision. The vanguard of the art community must reclaim its narrative 
from the monotonous hum of conformity, inciting discourse, debate, and a 
chorus of unbounded, passionate expression.
