Art and culture for the better Future

The Future is in our hands and creative minds.

Learning about human history makes us know what and how things have been changing and evolving during our thousands of years of existence and it would most likely question “In what direction is our Future heading?”. The answer to that question isn’t as uncertain as people might think, because the current climate of art and culture and how we engage with it in fact tells us where our society is headed.

Human culture is an overwhelming presence over us and so its effect on one's self image is more obvious to the average person. Meanwhile Art as a form of entertainment makes it widely accessible to almost everyone, making it another form of influence on us, however it isn't really taken as one by a big majority, due to the fact that entertainment as a whole being seen only as a distraction from our real world. "How could scraps of paper, paint on canvases, moving pictures and/or pixels on a screen have any sort of real meaningful impact on or society!" - some would say, but that is a bleak and unchallenged point of view to have.

Art is made from one’s experiences which are shaped by the culture they’re apart of, in return people get inspired by the art that they engage with in one way or another – inspired to create in the realm of art as well, and so the cycle continues. It is up to us to engage critically with the art and culture around us for the proper influence and inspiration to create meaningful art and in turn a better future for humanity.
