Mr Illch describes the way in which he was able to create an environment in his locality in Mexico (not specifically mentioned in the film) that fostered a cultural appreciation.\u00a0 He highlights how instigating change in the mentality towards culture requires first and foremost an understanding of the complexities involved within the financial system and liberal values of the people and thereafter ascertaining which potential avenues to take.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Palacio-des-Bellas-Artes-Mexico.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3808 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Palacio-des-Bellas-Artes-Mexico-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Palacio-des-Bellas-Artes-Mexico-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Palacio-des-Bellas-Artes-Mexico-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Palacio-des-Bellas-Artes-Mexico-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Palacio-des-Bellas-Artes-Mexico.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What Mr Illch didn&#8217;t highlight in his brief discussion with Pedro, but seems evident to me after having done a small amount of research on culture and government subsidies for art work in Mexico, is that once what Mr Illch highlighted (as I have discussed above) has been successfully implemented and completed, the government will eventually join this cultural drive and effort.\u00a0 This is evidenced by what has happened across South America, whereby the tourism industry has been instigated by the people and once proven to have potential, the government steps in and invests capital.\u00a0 This was a phenomenon similar to what Mr Illch describes that occurred across South America during the latter stages of the 20th Century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While\u00a0watching Fran ILLCH and Pedro discuss the entrepreneurial aspect of art, I was particularly able to resonate with what Mr Illch was saying, for example where he was describing how\u00a0culture \/ cultural ventures in\u00a0many\u00a0places\u00a0across the world are subsidised by the government because they are not viewed as a market, however, in Mexico they are not.\u00a0 &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/guest-presenter-fran-illch\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Guest presenter &#8211; Fran Illch&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3141,"featured_media":3808,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"coauthors":[2600],"class_list":["post-3806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3141"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3806"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3806\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3809,"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3806\/revisions\/3809"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3806"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=3806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
