One modern cultural artifact is the song "Formation" by Beyoncé, released in 2016. Beyoncé is the creator of the song and it relates to arts in the humanities as it showcases her cultural and political activism through its lyrics and music video. The song addresses themes of black pride, feminism, police brutality, and Hurricane Katrina, and its music video features imagery related to the Black Lives Matter movement and the history of black culture in the United States. As a cultural artifact, "Formation" serves as a commentary on contemporary social and political issues, and demonstrates the power of art to inspire social change and raise awareness about important issues.
