Abstract
The modern world faces global challenges, including conflicts, climate change, economic instability, and cultural polarization. In this context, art and aesthetics are not only tools for preserving cultural heritage but also serve as critical infrastructure for addressing social, economic, and emotional issues. Art helps individuals process traumatic experiences and adapt to shifting social and political realities, supporting spiritual well-being and contributing to the stabilisation of society.
