Subject: How Do Artists Influence Society?

The Influence of the Artist on Society

Humans have been drawn to the desire to create for thousands of years - literally. The earliest record of artistic expression dates back to the Stone Age, over 40,000 years ago.


We’ve come a long way since that primitive rock art. From oil paintings and performance pieces, the spoken word, digital NFTs, sculptures, and cinema, art reaches and influences every corner of our existence.


Throughout time we’ve looked to art - and the artists themselves - to help us make sense of the world around us; they provide an outlet to break down complex issues like race, religion, and politics.

Perhaps you can journey with us as we share our Africanness as a basis of kinship in recognizing AfriKin as a more informed and becoming term for people of African origin. Learn more about this goal here
