UGATLahi affirms that art and culture post a decisive role in articulating the voices of marginalized social sectors. Its main program supports cultural initiatives from these sectors, developing their potential to discern and actualize the country’s future.
UGATLahi asserts that artistic production must not be devoid of socio-political significance to facilitate the uplifting of human conditions. It notes prevailing mainstream notions of protest art as prone to clichés and sloganeering. But it maintains that reducing the praxis of people’s art to this simplistic argument trivializes the value of the work’s social content and is thus a grave injustice to the intellect of the masses, whom the works are produced for, foremost.
