What is the real power of Art?

What if art wasn’t just entertainment—but one of the most powerful forces in human history?

In this video, we explore the true power of art and why it has always been feared by those in power. From an opera that sparked the Belgian Revolution, to Picasso’s Guernica becoming one of the strongest anti-war symbols ever created, this video shows how art can inspire revolutions, challenge tyranny, and change lives—both collectively and personally.

At a time when art faces threats from AI, censorship, economic pressure, and cultural defunding, it’s more important than ever to ask: why does art matter? And what do we lose if we stop protecting it?
