The theme "The Interplay Between Art and Society" explores the profound impact of art on societal dynamics and vice versa. This session delves into how artists interpret, influence, and reflect cultural, social, and political landscapes through their work. By examining the intersection of art and society, we aim to uncover the ways in which artistic expressions can drive social change, foster community engagement, and address pressing global issues. Through panel discussions, we will engage with diverse perspectives on how art can act as a catalyst for dialogue, a mirror to societal values, and a medium for challenging the status quo. From visual arts and performance to film and multimedia installations, our panellists will share insights on their creative processes and the societal themes they explore in their work.
