In a world
grappling with geopolitical chaos and societal
fragmentation, art schools and artists become beacons of
empathy and understanding.
Art transcends boundaries, fostering connection where division
prevails. We need artists who can step into others' shoes,
illuminating the shared human experience through their work.
As artists reveal new ways to connect, they remind us that
living with passion and genuine care for one another fosters
global harmony.
