Do artists have a moral responsibility to act as a voice for individuals/communities to
communicate with the wider world, or for groups/campaigns/ideologies to spread a message?
Or, alternatively, do artists actually have a moral responsibility to be objective
and stay out of politics, religion, and dogma in order that their art is accessible to everyone?
- The responsibility of an artist is to highlight the events/moments for the outside world. One of the important features in an artist's career is the ideas and meaning behind their project. Each artwork is made for a particular reason and the meaning of art could be about anything, as it is up to the viewers to interpret and understand it with their own perception. Art can depict anything to an audience because art is a form of personal expression
