📘 About the Volume

The Human Mosaic: Intersections of Art, Culture, and Social Insight is an interdisciplinary edited volume that aims to explore the complex interplay between artistic expression, cultural identity, and the structures of social understanding. In an era marked by globalization, digital transformation, and shifting socio-political landscapes, the humanities and social sciences offer vital tools for interpreting the human condition. This volume seeks to gather critical and creative perspectives that examine how art, literature, performance, media, and cultural practices inform and reflect societal values, historical consciousness, and collective memory.

Contributors are encouraged to explore both theoretical and empirical approaches that cut across disciplinary boundaries, offering nuanced insights into how art and culture shape, challenge, or reinforce contemporary social dynamics. By bringing together diverse voices and methodological frameworks, the volume aims to foster a rich conversation on the human experience in all its complexity and diversity.
