Abstract

Art and politics are two different parts of the same thing - society. Their interaction is connected with the processes taking place in the state. Society can only develop with both art and politics. Therefore, these two completely different categories must complement each other in close cooperation. The relevance of this study is determined by the transformations currently taking place in Ukraine in the social and cultural spheres. Although Ukraine is going through difficult times, art continues to develop thanks to politics. The article aims to study the interaction of art with sociocultural and political processes. Politics is a sphere of influence where public interests are actively functioning. The development of culture depends on certain moods that dominate in society and the level of cultural processes. Even during the war, art should develop; therefore, government bodies and political leaders must work hard to ensure the development of culture and art. For any state, the development of art is, first of all, a demonstration of its power, national identity, and spiritual and material wealth. Art can reflect cultural values and society's identity, preserve and transmit the heritage from past to future generations, and form a collective memory. The role of politics in this process is vital since the well-coordinated work of the state mechanism, reasonable use of funds, particular influence on cultural processes, and their preservation and enhancement can help to achieve coordinated work in the cultural and political spaces. This article defines the concepts of "culture," "art," and "politics." The authors have studied the influence of material and intangible culture on society's development. They also searched for ways of interacting between culture and art in the sociocultural space. The article is focused on the different opinions on the interaction between art and politics. The study described the feasibility of developing and supporting art during the war in Ukraine.
