Art has been proven to have a positive impact on society. Various artistic initiatives across the archipelago encourage freedom of expression and social inclusion because they provide space for dialogue and reflection on the surrounding environment. The arts help heal trauma, become an important part of movements against injustice, and give voice to the marginalized. Art also has an economic impact on the perpetrators, so that it can encourage people to revive art and take care of nature and cultural sites. A number of good stories about the impact of art are summarized in this publication as well as the book The Impact of Art in Society which was published by the Indonesia Arts Coalition in 2019.
