Where and who do we want to be? How might we get there? What might
happen if we stay on our current course? In The Future of Serious
Art, Bidisha uses her personal journey through novels, TV and film
to mirror the seismic changes that have occurred in culture and its
industries in recent years. The digital revolution has brought all
of TV, cinema and music into the palms of our hands. It's easier
than ever to bring stories to life, but what happens when artistic
work is rebranded as 'content creation'? Where does this leave
literary novelists and arthouse filmmakers? What about those
auteur-directors who make mainstream but thoughtful films for the
big screen? As a storyteller herself, and a woman of colour who
isn't a millennial, Bidisha asks who is taken seriously as an
artist, what is taken seriously as art now and how that might
change over the next century. This brief but mighty book is one of
five that comprise the first set of FUTURES essays. Each standalone
book presents the author's original vision of a singular aspect of
the future which inspires in them hope or reticence, optimism or
fear. Read individually, these essays will inform, entertain and
challenge. Together, they form a picture of what might lie ahead,
and ask the reader to imagine how we might make the transition from
here to there, from now to then.
