Ukraine war: how political art can help in times of crisis – Society

Art cannot save the world for us, nor can it end a war. But she could help pause at times like these, to see through and bring hope.

These are turbulent days and weeks. Those showing their colors now carry flags: blue and yellow for Ukraine. Blue with stars for Europe. Rainbow for diversity. On the other hand: a capital “Z” for supporting Putin. Anyone who wants to let images do the talking posts memes, photos or short videos, sometimes created by individuals and reporters, sometimes by warring factions or interest groups.
