Art can take heavy, complex subjects and translate them into something more digestible for the masses; it is such a powerful tool for social change.
In this episode, host Arpége Taratoa chats with three creatives—Ria Hall, Sian Evans, and Ana Mendina—who discuss how art can serve as a medium for communicating important historical narratives and creating deeper understanding; how important it is to create safe spaces for marginalised artists and communities; and how art can act as a bridge between audiences and critical social issues.
They also dive into the fine balance between creating political art and the perception of art as pretty pictures, and how, even in the face of negative responses, artists will continue to push boundaries.
