 Coffin art in Ghana
 Guerilla gardeners

Air-walking in China, scissor-dancing in Peru and guerrilla gardening in the UK are just some of the activities we focus upon.

Beyond the aesthetic beauty and talent involved, Artsworld examines how people use the arts to bring about social change, highlight injustice and provoke political reform.

Stories that change people's perceptions about the world we live in and allow for a greater understanding of one another's cultures and traditions.

Artsworld can be seen each week at the following times GMT: Monday: 0530, 1130; Tuesday 0130, 1400, 2330; Wednesday: 1630; Thursday: 1430; Friday: 0600; Saturday: 1930; Sunday: 1030.
