Art unshackled from politics is often tricky (a trickster) because if/once it is, the political are blissfully unaware that their perception is informing their presumptions.
For good reason, throughout history many artists preferred to keep it that way.

The art of humor....
And poetry
A thread I wrote previously. More on the danger of the presumption of the relationship between art and politics. Just as artist have suffered under the boot or bullet, artists have helped empower the owner of the foot and the gun. The implication that an artist somehow has
it’s political mind on the right side of history (usually presumed by the loudest of a society, not necessary anything else) is...well...hogwash.
As is the presumption that art should be married to a movement of any kind. Can it be? Sure. Must it be? Well...depends who you ask
