Social commentary in art refers to the use of art as a means of expressing the artist’s opinion or perspective on a particular social or political issue. This can take many forms, from visual art that directly addresses a specific issue to more subtle forms of commentary that may be embedded within the artwork itself. The goal of social commentary in art is to encourage viewers to think more deeply about the issues being addressed and to spark discussion and debate about those issues. In this way, art can serve as a powerful tool for social change by raising awareness about important issues and inspiring people to take action.
