"Art During Times of Uncertainty, Unrest, and Change"
Art has always played a vital role in society during uncertain times. It offers an outlet to react to current events and often encourages social change, while also spreading hope and awareness. From the art of the Civil Rights movement of the ’60s to the current Black Lives Matter movement, and art from the 1918 Pandemic to Covid, take a deeper dive into what makes art so powerful and effective during these times.
