Does art create a people?
Social Engagement as Art Practice
The first conversation of Art Articulations, the visual arts presentation of ILF Samanvay will be among artists who locate their practice within marginalized peoples and sites of the city. Their work emerges from a sustained engagement with communities that are disenfranchised – children, young adults, women and men who are living in extreme hardship.Over the course of the evening the artists will present their work and together we will all ponder the question of aesthetics in socially engaged practices. We will learn the ways in which art can facilitate dialogue and change and the strategies employed by artists to reach their goals of public action, community engagement and enhancement.
