At Art & Humanities Reflections (AHR), our mission is to advance the understanding of human creativity, cultural heritage, and philosophical reflection through the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed research. As a newly launched open-access journal, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive, global platform for scholars, artists, and practitioners to share their insights on the enduring significance of the art and humanities in shaping society, culture, and human understanding.

Our goal is to provide a space for critical inquiry, artistic exploration, and interdisciplinary dialogue that bridges the worlds of creativity, cultural analysis, and scholarly reflection. By encouraging research that addresses the historical, contemporary, and future dimensions of human expression, AHR aims to promote cultural awareness, philosophical inquiry, and an enriched understanding of the human experience.

Although Art & Humanities Reflections (AHR) is a new journal, it builds upon the longstanding tradition of academic excellence established by the SWS Scholarly Society Vienna. Our commitment to rigorous peer review is supported by our International Scientific Committee on Social Sciences & Art, which ensures that every submission meets the highest standards of scholarly integrity, originality, and relevance. Our contributors are leading voices in fields such as art history, philosophy, musicology, and cultural studies, whose work transcends disciplinary boundaries to inspire critical reflection and scholarly discourse.

In an era where the role of the humanities is more vital than ever, AHR seeks to reaffirm the essential role of the art and humanities in addressing societal challenges, fostering cultural empathy, and promoting critical thinking. From investigating the legacies of past civilizations to exploring the implications of digital media and creative technologies, the journal encourages work that deepens our appreciation for human creativity and cultural diversity. The art and humanities are not merely reflections of society; they are transformative forces that shape our shared future.

Art & Humanities Reflections (AHR) is dedicated to advancing research and creative work that highlights the profound influence of the art and humanities on human progress. Our vision extends beyond the publication of articles; we aim to foster cross-cultural collaboration, support efforts to preserve cultural heritage, and contribute to the global pursuit of equity, justice, and sustainable development.
