Understanding Socially Engaged Practice
So, what is actually meant by Socially Engaged Practice?
Practices that are socially involved in describing collaborative arts, often participatory and involving people as media or work material.
Explanation of Socially Engaged Practice
Introduction
Practices that are socially involved, also referred to as social practices or arts involved socially, can include any form of art that involves people and society in debate, collaboration or social interaction. This can often be regulated as a result of outreach or education programs, but many independent artists also use them in their work. The term public art of the new genre, created by Suzanne Lacy, is also a form of practice that is socially involved.
The participatory element of the practice that is socially involved, is the key, with the works of art made often hold the same or less important for collaborative actions to create it. As described by Tom Finkelpearl in his book What We Make: Conversation of Art and Social Cooperation, Social Practice is ‘art that is socially involved, where social interaction at a certain level is art.’
Social Practice and Activism
Practices that are socially involved can be associated with activism because they often deal with political problems. Artists who work in this field will often spend a lot of time integrating into certain communities that they want to help, educate or just share. Artist Rick Lowe explained:
You have to spend years to develop relationships … it will be an arrogant neglect of the community to come and think you can understand all the complexity of the place in a short time.
Interview with Carolina A. Miranda, La Times, 2014
The goal of artists can help this community work towards common goals, raise awareness and encourage conversations about problems, or maybe to improve their physical or psychological conditions.
The winner of the 2015 Turner Prize, Assemble, is a perfect example of artists using practices that are socially involved because they collaborate with residents to improve their local area.
Moreover, as we have seen above, this term is one of a collection of dictionaries, acronyms, terms, jargon, or terminology in the field of arts that begins with an alphabet or prefix S, as well as terms associated with S.
