# 3 Social Responsibility of Art
In a recent communique on the working conditions of artists, the European Union has reiterated its commitment to upholding artistic freedom in all member countries. However, as cultural debates have recently become more and more politicized, especially in countries with more authoritarian governmental rule, the role of the artist as a social agent has to be re-examined: What responsibility does the artist have in creating their art? Do artistic projects need to address the issues facing their communities, or should art be a site of refuge? Can it be both? These and other questions will be discussed by artists and academics working in the independent performing arts sector.
