Arts

In the context of Cultural Diplomacy, art can be a medium through which intercultural relations can be shaped. Art can provide a way by which cultural heritage and identity can be experienced and interpreted and can also provide a unique space for artists, audiences and other stakeholders in cultural management to come together on a neutral platform. The usage of art as a Cultural Diplomacy tool can include raising awareness of different cultures, promoting social cohesion and strengthening intercultural relations. Despite its importance, it is the subject of little research and is often undervalued as a tool for Cultural Diplomacy.
