Has Art Lost Its Way? Why It Doesn’t Reflect Society Anymore

Is modern art losing touch with reality? In this video, I explore why art today seems to stray further from real-life experiences and how this shift has impacted our connection to it. In this video, I discuss how Nigerian art/literature specifically has strayed further away from reflecting political and sociological consciousness. Let’s take a closer look at how art has evolved and the factors leading up to this.
