We are now living in turbulent times. The world faces global environmental crisis, and is divided as symbolized by the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The growing number of refugees exceeds 110 million, and one in ten of the population on the earth is starving. In such a world, how do artists react and create works of art with their intuition and physiology? Can art open up an exclusive world?
