www.artispatriotic.com / The documentary film Art is Patriotic explores the relationship between art and politics, particularly in the pivotal period between the end of the eight-year Bush Reign and The Republican National Convention through the historic presidential election of Barrack Obama. What role do the arts play, especially in politically-charged times? Do artists provide a parallel history to what we see portrayed in the media? Do artists act as canaries in the coal mine? How do artists respond to war? To peace? Is their role to challenge, question, comment and reflect on the society we live in? Can artists project a vision for the future? Can we all be the change we want to see in the world?
