Cathartic ability of art in today’s times

In times of global crisis, the healing process also needs to be global.
Art due to its cathartic ability has always played an important role in the society in such times. Creativity is a rainbow of hope in these dark clouded times.
The pandemic which has united us in the way the entire globe faces the same concerns and challenges, be it economic, medical, emotional or psychological also makes it imperative that art community from around the world be mobilised in order to inspire, and play a therapeutic role today.
