Why Does It Matter?
Art is not just decoration — it is memory, testimony, and truth. Each sculpture, fresco, or canvas is a fragment of humanity’s collective story. To lose one is to erase a page of our identity.
When art is attacked, neglected, or forgotten, it is not only the object that disappears — but the voices of those who lived, dreamed, and suffered before us. Art is what connects centuries, what allows civilizations to speak to one another beyond time and language.
Defending art means defending knowledge, freedom, and empathy. It means standing against the forces that wish to reduce the world to ignorance and amnesia.
Because without art, there are no witnesses left — and without witnesses, there can be no truth.
“To care for beauty is not vanity — it is resistance against oblivion.”
