the end times
examining the apocalypse through artists perspectives
If not accessible please visit the link here
Historically, the idea of the rapture signifies the end of humanity, evoking fear and reflection to avoid this fate. Artists also explore external apocalypses, which are catastrophic events with significant physical, social, and psychological impacts. These events, like natural disasters, technical failures, and pandemics, challenge traditional notions of apocalypses.
"The End Times" includes works that offer modern perspectives on the apocalypse, emphasizing how the current generations engage and shape our understanding and experiences of global crises and the themes of resilience, survival, and resistance that emerge.

The rapture is often interpreted through religious beliefs, media depictions, or environmental factors. For example, some see natural disasters as divine punishment, while media portrayals of nuclear wars or zombie outbreaks shape public perceptions. These external events force individuals and communities to respond and adapt based on external influences.
Apocalyptic experiences can be challenging, but they can also be insightful, as individuals emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and a greater appreciation for the world around them. Thus, art plays a pivotal role in how individuals comprehend these events through both individualistic processing and societal discourse.
