Contemporary art in a time of crisis

Does art matter anymore?

In an age of cultural anxiety and collapsing attention spans, art can easily be sidelined. But what if it does more essential work than we realise?

This discussion between Suzanne Cotter and Benjamin Law explores whether contemporary art is simply a niche-interest, or a vital antidote to the ills of disconnection.

When it comes to repairing our crumbling social cohesion, can and should art do more of the heavy lifting? Or is it retreating into irrelevance at exactly the moment it is needed most?
