Can Art Change the World?

Global warming is the biggest issue facing our planet today. Temperatures are rising at unprecedented rates, bringing increasingly severe droughts, tropical storms and wildfires. The arctic may even have its first ice-free summer by 2040. These stark facts are repeated ad nauseam on television, in newspapers and science reports, yet our leaders seem to lack the compulsion to act effectively or urgently. Maybe now it is time for culture to step in and radically alter our perception of mankind’s place in our fragile ecosystem.
