As a verb, to muse is to consider something thoughtfully. As a noun, traditionally it means a woman who is a source of artistic inspiration; stemming from ancient Greek mythology. The Muses were the goddesses of poetic inspiration, the adored deities of song, dance, and memory, on whose mercy the creativity, wisdom and insight of artists, thinkers, and scientists wholeheartedly depended. Today, a muse is any person who serves as an artist’s inspiration.
Reshma Eyafe brainstorm a future RantboxTV episode on the function of the muse in the 21st Century.
'We dialogue around language, episodic form, and personal entanglements - each feeling our way through the idea of a muse and her impact on the artist, eventually arriving at more questions than answers. The most important one… Who is she?'
Watch RANTBOX.TV, that rare beast that offers nuanced commentary on race, gender, and other community concerns in 21st Century Britain and abroad.
