ART and ITS ROLE in SOCIETY

<p>One of the fundamental questions we ask ourselves regularly in Polygon8 is; what is the point of what we are creating? We often look at our role as artists and the function of our work, what it means to us, and who it serves. So here I have attempted to tidy up some of our thought processes and make sense of it.</p> <p>Art has been an integral part of human culture since the earliest times, serving a wide range of functions and purposes. Throughout history, art has been used to express ideas, tell stories, capture beauty, inspire emotion, challenge norms, and promote social and political change. In this essay, we will explore the various functions of art in society, examining the ways in which art has been used to shape culture, influence social behavior, and engage with issues of identity, power, and representation.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@polygon8/art-and-its-role-in-society-eee4aac816f2"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
