‘Art can do many things: entertain, instruct, console, inspire, enrage, transform. It teaches us things that can’t be taught in any other way and makes us see things we wouldn’t otherwise see. It allows us the illusion of escaping our daily lives while simultaneously taking us deeper inside ourselves.’ Blake Morrison, writer
