We asked artists around the world: “What is your role as an artist in society, your local community, and the world at large?”
Every artist plays a different and necessary part in contributing to the overall health, development, and well-being of our society.
Creative thinkers and makers provide their communities with joy, interaction, and inspiration, but they also give thoughtful critique to our political, economic and social systems — pushing communities to engage thoughtfully and make steps toward social progress.
From documenting human history to expressing collective emotions, these nine artists from around the world tell us how they view their role as a creative contributor.

Artists are a vehicle for expressing universal emotion
Art is about connecting with people’s emotions. It’s personal and at the same time, universal.
