History

Arts and culture or the world “culture” alone ultimately refer to people’s way of lives, which has accumulated over years and is exhibited in both abstract and concrete forms. Members (humans) in that particular community collaborate to adopt, apply and pass it on. While the concrete objects can be visually appreciated such as architecture, performing art, and handicrafts, those being abstract in their nature communicate their sentimental and spiritual value such as belief, knowledge, thought and wisdom.

Arts and culture or culture (either will suffice) derive itself from the relationship between humans and nature, humans and humans and society, and humans and supernatural beings. Establishment of such a relationship gives birth to the social structure which serves as a factor of sustainability and identity. Therefore, it is stated that “arts and culture is a breath of the society, a fortress guarding the nation and, thereby, preserving arts and culture is unmistakably the way to preserve the nation.”
