INTDS 5950 Introduction to Socially Engaged Art
This studio course introduces students to the genre of Socially Engaged Art (SEA). As its name suggests, Socially Engaged Art is a form of public art practice that seeks to engage diverse audiences in the process of building community and influencing social change. With this in mind, students will explore different ways that contemporary artists and designers can address social and political issues in collaboration with local communities. Each semester, students will work with designated community partners in Cambridge and Greater Boston. Through research, community-based processes, and site visits, students will acquire a critical understanding of SEA while developing their own collaborative projects in the public realm.
