Summary
On the potential regeneration of democracy: how artists can work toward a sense of collective relevance required to face the future’s dark challenges.
People often ask themselves what exhibitions are for. The obvious answer is to see art—but they are also tools to help us regenerate our social fabric. Observing artworks in a given context can heighten our awareness of the ways in which we perceive the world more generally. In challenging and depressing times, especially, art experiences offer the possibility of finding a language and a voice to articulate increasingly scarce causes for optimism. Published on the occasion of the 36th Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts, The Oracle examines the ways in which art and culture can play a key role in the regeneration of democracy—toward a new sense of individual and collective freedom, of relevance and agency, and of belonging and loyalty to the values that we need to live in peace.
