Seriousness vs Aesthetics

Act: In my community, the biggest and common challenge for art-based approaches is people lack concern towards the seriousness of issues that an art-based activity is reflecting in the society apart from aesthetic entertainment. Arts forms especially the performing arts like skit and street play are bringing significant changes in the mindset of youth but still needs more focus and awareness.

React: I have read that some participant had shared about there is the challenge of discrimination in education among boys and girls. What I suggest for this is in such situation art forms could really emerge as a candle of change. Theme paintings and street play at the very local level could be organised to highlight the importance of education as well as pointing the benefits of education of women in family and future.
