Art, Society, and the Times: Rap Artist Yang Shuya 

What is the relationship between art and society? Is it possible for art to exist outside of society, as a kind of “pure land”?
How does art reflect the evolution of an era—or even move ahead of its time to drive change? This has been the central question I’ve explored since I first began creating.
From the great creators of East and West, to protestors striving for change, and finally to local actors taking action on the ground. “Living in this era, what dreams can we still hold on to?”
In pragmatic despair, I pragmatically believe that both creation and action, like water, can flow into and fill the cracks that our times so urgently need.
