How many artists really have the critical sense? Should artists be critical even if it sometimes puts them in a dangerous situation? Definitely, artist is a kind of trouble maker and somehow dangerous to any government which unexceptionally willing to keep the activist voice down. But a healthy society always requires dissent voices against the orthodoxy or the idées reçues that authorities have. I am thinking that a good artist is the one who can really disentangle sense from nonsense by asking the right questions and expecting pertinent answers, even more importantly, enable to offload the humanistic knowledge from the extremely complex social reality and then pass it to the public, to let every single citizen to shoulder the weight of culture and knowledge in our time.
