I find power in art through reflection more than immediate action. A lot of how we perceive the past and the lessons to be learned from it are reading a historical account. Seeing an accompanying art piece that makes the text come alive. In the Vietnam example, the Napalm Girl photograph speaks to the horrors of chemical warfare in a way that is immediately palpable. Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen gives an honest account of the nihilism of war veterans in a way that's otherwise hard to explain to teenagers. Without this media, the war would not have the same visceral nature to a millenial like myself, who had not lived through the experience.
