During the summer 2012 I connected acting on the stage with the social actions.
My home city
for two weeks became the centre for art.
Young people capture the city.
Young people capture the city.
Our task
was to point out people the main social, religious and moral problems in these days using art. We faced different reactions of spectators. From some people we
get a positive respond. However there was also a group who was against us. They
even wanted to call the police, seeing our happening on the street. Everything
ended well and we and our action were seen by the citizens. These two weeks
during the summer had shown me that art is different for everyone. Each person
in the world understands art in various ways.
However the art played for us an educational function. By art I was able
to show people that we can change the world. By this experience I started to
see art in different way. Before I saw art mainly as a form of entertainment.
Now I understand that it can also be a powerful medium that can change people, their
opinions and beliefs.
So what do you think about art? Do you agree with me?
I just love actions that involve art which is brought to the streets. I think nowadays people are in such a rush they don't have time to enjoy someone's creativity. Art is a stimulation for more vibrant life. when such a medium is brought to people in random places, there is just a positive value of it unless people understand the message.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for such actions! It just makes the city alive!
