Social Practice and the Politics of Artistic Intervention Today


This composed session investigates issues in social practice and the politics of artistic intervention today. Papers include historical studies and presentations of creative work. Special attention is paid to “guerrilla” artistic strategies and countercultural aesthetics, social practice as pedagogy, and participatory art that addresses intensified xenophobia and racism in the contemporary moment.
