Art articulates experiences, thoughts, values or sociopolitical claims in aesthetic ways. Therefore, artists often occupy liminal positions in their societies; as representatives of the social on the one hand and as critical ‘outsiders’ on the other. They link societal milieus, often adopting the position of mediators and critics between conflicting cultural world-views, social values and political agendas.
