THOUGHTS ON

Ar Ti St

You call yourself an artist the responsibility on your shoulders must be immense

Whether you weave yourself into words, Or weave yourself into pictures

There must be a small part of society, That you surely observe

Eyes wander restlessly all day, Gazing at countless sights

You call yourself an artist, You must see an untouched fragment of society

You feel emotions through countless journeys. You call yourself an artist, The sentiments of society must connect with you, Surely they do

I delve deep into my own thoughts

Like a bird soaring high, struck down, it falls

Oh, it’s gone, oh, that’s gone,”

Perhaps no one even notices

You call yourself an artist, Does this bird too belong to your society?

Or is your society built only of humans and humanity?

You call yourself an artist, You must feel the responsibility of art

You call yourself an artist, The responsibility on your shoulders must be immense.

Project Ar Ti St delves into the profound responsibility artists hold within society. Historically, artists have been instrumental in reflecting societal values, challenging norms, and inspiring change. Their creations often serve as mirrors to the times, capturing the essence of cultural, political, and social climates.

The project emphasizes that beyond creating aesthetically pleasing works, artists have the duty to provoke thought, evoke emotions, and foster dialogue. By addressing pressing issues through their art, they can raise awareness, challenge perceptions, and inspire action. This aligns with the view that art is fundamental to political discourse, as it brings social and political issues to the forefront, connecting with audiences in ways that traditional media may not.

Furthermore, artists play a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and passing on traditions. They document and interpret the world around them, ensuring that future generations have a window into the past. This dual role of challenging the status quo while preserving cultural narratives underscores the multifaceted responsibility of artists in society.

Project Ar Ti St seeks to highlight these responsibilities, encouraging artists to be conscious of their influence and to use their platforms to contribute positively to society. By doing so, artists not only enrich the cultural landscape but also drive meaningful societal progress.
