RE: What is the Role of Artists in Times of Political Crises?

in #creativity7 years ago

My friend you always intrigue me with your lines and i must say each time i come across your work, i take my time to read through and know the way forward on what to say as my comment.

My response to your question is that i must say that there a million words in the work of an artist than the written words sometimes.

The scenarios that has transpired in the political world especially in africa has forced many to be inspirational and know how to do this work perfectly in passing their message to the people called politician.

In my country we have various national dailies where some of this artist have columns where they do justice to this by passing message two page write up can do that an average lay man on the street get the message perfectly.

The role of the artist to me is to pass a million message in just one drawing.

Thanks for sharing this piece. You are really inspired my friend.

I appreciate your taking the time to read and share your thoughts. I agree that the artist is a kind of conduit or bridge, passing the message of the people to politician, as you put it.

By acting as a witness and giving voice to the voiceless, the artist is also an activist.
