Session 8: Art or Bread?

Is art important or just a luxury? Do we wait for works of art from the artist or bread? Does art help change the reality and convey the truth? Does art help to make peace and promote communication among peoples? Or does it provoke division and hostility more? Does the artist use the suffering of society to carry out his artistic works? Is art important in poor societies to express and vent, or is it a characteristic of the affluent societies?
