The International Journal of the Arts in Society aims to create an intellectual frame of reference for the arts and arts practices, supporting an interdisciplinary conversation on their role in society. It fosters multidisciplinary discourse across diverse contexts—studios, stages, classrooms, museums, streets, and the internet. Addressing ever-evolving modes of artistic production, display, and reception, the journal explores how traditional and emerging art forms reflect, challenge, and reshape cultural narratives. Emphasizing pedagogy, knowledge creation, and institutional frameworks, it interrogates the interplay between visual cultures, media forms, and social transformations. With attention to cultural policies, community engagement, and power structures, The International Journal of the Arts in Society considers the arts as political actors and catalysts for societal change, posing the question: What is the place of the arts in today’s world?
