The irony

I am an art student, the professors who lecture us they are more well versed with hindi and marathi than english.
In our orientation program at college , we had an Indian artist coming in , his artwork was excellent , but he wasn't that good in english.The people ( Oh and these people are some of my very own batch mates and seniors) around me instantly started chattering about how bad his english is , they did not bother even for a second to look at his work, to pay attention at what he is presenting, I was in love with his surrealistic paintings, the video art , they were brilliant. But these people start laughing, giggling over his broken english , making fun of the artwork.

There was an animated video which was on display,
The video consisted of teeny weeny houses, you could see 13-17 houses at a glance and they were simple basic houses open with just walls on 2/3 sides with windows and sloping roofs.
The back ground was black and the houses were psychedelic pink purple green.
The camera was taken through these houses from one house to another and another, it went on for full 5minutes ,then an abrupt end.
I was confused.
 The artist started explaining you must have been wondering for 5mins you were waiting for something to happen for something to pop out or some change or drama but in the end nothing happens. He explained it is life,  those times where you just wait and wait for something to happen but there is nothing.
So it is just about that frustrating, annoying, longing that something is about to occur.
I smiled.It made such sense,but these people after the artist explained they are like ''OMG how boring'' again started giggling and mimicking his broken english.
This was not the worst part,

Last week we had a lecture from an art curator from milan and she couldn't speak english at all.She had a piece of paper from which she was reading words and some 2-3 pronouns and showing some slides and she was so lost , she did not know what she was talking about. Then another guy took over and explained the stuff to us.The same people who were laughing/cursing the earlier indian artist for his broken english now went ''OMG she is so cute,so cute, very nice''

 'how cute is her english'

  'atleast she tried' 

Funny thing I heard some one say "uska art work kya tha" it is funny because she was a curator and she was showing artworks of artists from milan.
All this coming from students studying arts in an art institute and they wonder why people dont appreciate art.The irony.
I smiled.Weird.
