The Artist’s Role in Society – Abby Martin (Video)

Abby Martin‘s speech about the artist’s task in society mixed with awesome music by Explosions in the Sky and a selection of artworks by visionary artists. (Editor’s Note: Unfortunately the video was deleted by the author. Please check out the visionary art resources below.)

All art is a question mark, but only you know the answer to. In the broader picture, the warped value system in which we live has conditioned us to consider art as something unattainable, something unapproachable, as a rich man’s hobby.

Because the “powers that be” know that only through artistic expression and imagination we can envision a better world and work to create one. – Abby Martin
