Description
What does it really mean to call ourselves “artists,” and who gets to decide? This thought-provoking book explores the cultural, historical, and philosophical forces that shape artistic identity—examining how creativity is defined, valued, and institutionalized across different contexts. Through a clear, research-driven approach, it traces the tensions between individual expression and social expectation, asking what we gain—and what we risk—when art becomes a label. With Jessica Lack’s incisive, accessible style, the book invites readers to reconsider the assumptions behind the word “artist” and to see creativity as a dynamic, contested practice rather than a fixed role.
