How to make daily things become special | Martín Azúa | TEDxReus

Описание: Art is the play field of the most creative human minds and probably the place where society’s contradictions find, talk and transform themselves. In this sense, is art an engine which can change society? Or has it got a purely descriptive role of what is happenning to its environment, instead?

L’art és el terreny de jocs de les ments humanes més creatives i on probablement es troben, dialoguen i es transformen les contradiccions de la nostra societat. En aquest sentit, és l’art un motor de canvi de la societat? O en canvi, té un rol purament descriptiu del que succeeix en el seu entorn?
