Module Overview:
You will be introduced to the fundamentals of Socially Engaged Practice, tracing its historical origins and examining its contemporary context. Key practitioners in the field will be highlighted, along with their works and motivations. This exploration will enhance your understanding of the politics and implications of participation and agency within socially engaged art.
You will analyse various methods employed by socially engaged practitioners to engage their audiences, including audio, virtual reality (VR), immersive experiences, live art, and gaming. This analysis will prompt students to critically consider the ethical, environmental, and reflective responsibilities inherent in socially engaged practice.
You will develop your understanding by collaborating on a project design responding to briefs from external organisations seeking creative solutions to social issues, such as museums, schools, or hospitals. Working in small groups, you will develop and present a pitch that responds to the brief, incorporating all elements of responsible socially engaged practice.
