Art has a special role to play in troubled times, where tense situations erupt throughout the globe, anxiety and a sense of pessimism grips the world. Blessed with the gift of imagination, artists can see possibilities where others cannot. Their innate creativity and intense engagement with the world aroundthem allows them to identify a way ahead, finding hope and a sense ofoptimism about the future where others may struggle.
