Understanding Community Art
So, what is actually meant by Community Art?
Community art is an artistic activity based in the community, marked by interaction or dialogue with the community and often involves professional artists who collaborate with people who may not be involved in art.
Explanation of Community Art
The idea of community art developed from the idea of cultural democracy. Cultural democracy emerged after the second world war and described the practices in which culture and artistic expressions were produced by individuals and communities rather than by the central power institution. Cultural democracy seeks to democratize culture to bring awareness and appreciation of art to the widest possible society; and to break the boundary between high and low culture to make art can be accessed by a wider audience.
Although there was a previous tentative experiment in what was known as community art, including by the 19th century pre-Raphael brotherhood, only in the late 1940s the concept of community art emerged and began to be seen as a way to empower people’s power. Initiatives include placing visual artists, actors and musicians to work in the community to make public murals, drama, and composition.
In the 1960s, when social change was seen as possible, community art was seen as a way to vote to people who lost their rights.
Assemble is a collective based in London who works across the fields of art, design, and architecture to create projects together with communities that use and inhabit them.
