Do you agree or disagree with the concept that "Art is a Weapon for Social Change"? If you agree or if not, EXPLAIN why? Use at least TWO current-day examples of literary, visual and/ or performance artists to prove your point. You also must use at least TWO direct quotes from the source materials (e.g. book chapter, Ted Talk, lyrics from songs, images from music videos, etc).
