Art

A picture paints a thousand words. In times of crisis, art also reminds us that life is beautiful, that solidarity is powerful and that selfless behaviour is to be celebrated. Whether it is boldly defiant street art that spontaneously appears on pavements and walls, or brightly hopeful rainbow decorations that are made by children and hung in public places, we need art to lift our spirits. Art has an impact because human brains and cultures have adapted to using symbols and narratives. We identify with archetypes like the fearless hero or mother-like caregiver. Art makes our inner life visible.
