A young girl sits listening to a man, absorbing what she says. She is not aware of herself. He is not aware of her.


“Art has a unique role to play in activism. It can speak to hearts that are closed and inspire empathy with the ‘other’ and with the oppressed, which is essential to make any change in the world. Human beings are capable of great intelligence but this too can be used to justify their selfish needs. Art opens up possibilities for introspection and can allow one to step out of one’s separate self to become part of a larger universal consciousness.”
