The Conglomerate newspaper addresses the issues of propaganda art. It focuses on contemporary phenomena under the influence of which creativity becomes an alienated activity – subordinated to the general system based on the accumulation of capital. Reflections on the propaganda character of art, which results from the globally established and universally accepted division of productive forces, reveal the potential and significance of creative attitudes shaped on the margins – outside the center supported by the media and subordinated to the logic of the commercial establishment.
