Engaging in the discussion on socially engaged art, it is worth emphasizing its role not only as a source of reflection but also as a tool inspiring actions and social changes. Looking at various forms of artistic expression, we see how artistic activities can influence local communities, promoting dialogue and collaboration. For example, a street mural not only decorates urban space but can also raise awareness about important social issues such as environmental protection or social equality. Collaborative mural creation can also be a way to engage the local community and build interpersonal bonds. Another example is artistic workshops, which not only teach artistic techniques but can also serve as a platform for discussing social issues. By creating artworks on topics such as social inequalities or discrimination, participants not only express their emotions but can also inspire others to reflect and take action. As an artist, I see how crucial it is to use art to express views on important social issues. By attracting attention to the diversity of perspectives and values, art can be a powerful tool for promoting dialogue and understanding among people.
