SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART PRACTICE
Workshop in contemporary art
tutor: Andreja Kulunčić (visual artist)
The workshop will explore the phenomenon of socially engaged art. In which way does contemporary art participate in creating a public discourse on the ‘others’ and how can it intervene into hegemonic stereotypical and oppressive discourses? The artist Andreja Kuluncic will thematize these issues from the perspective of her own artistic practice and thematization of the neuralgic spots of our society in general. The emphasis will be placed on developing ideas for individual projects of the participants.
