Almost every individual experiences the influence of the culture they are born into - it reflects in the way they think, react and respond. When we talk about art, it has always depicted the socio-cultural phenomena as per the perception of the artist, which can open a vista of speculations. The manifestation of art expands to a wide array of forms like painting, music, dance, literature etc. which reflects the society of its time. In literature, we have modern art which is open to collaborations and experiments and largely deviates from classical art. Artistic endeavor hence is extremely subjective catering to a vast scope of inventory of creative techniques depicting multicultural facets. It is undeniable that contemporary art is exponential and fluid thereby subjected to wide construal analysis. TMYS Review December, 2022 engaged with scholars and writers to explore how Society & Artistic Endeavours contribute to the shaping of Cultural Identity and Ideologyfocusing on three main sub-themes: (i) Portrayal of Religion in Artforms, (ii)Graphic Representation and Social Evolution and (iii) Regional Renditions in Dramatized Performances.
