Making Another World Possible offers a broad look at an array of
socially engaged cultural practices that have become increasingly
visible in the past decade, across diverse fields such as visual
art, performance, theater, activism, architecture, urban planning,
pedagogy, and ecology. Part I of the book introduces the reader to
the field of socially engaged art and cultural practice, spanning
the past ten years of dynamism and development. Part II presents a
visually striking summary of key events from 1945 to the present,
offering an expansive view of socially engaged art throughout
history, and Part III offers an overview of the current state of
the field, elucidating some of the key issues facing practitioners
and communities. Finally, Part IV identifies ten global issues and,
in turn, documents 100 key artistic projects from around the world
to illustrate the various critical, aesthetic and political modes
in which artists, cultural workers, and communities are responding
to these issues from their specific local contexts. This is a much
needed and timely archive that broadens and deepens the
conversation on socially engaged art and culture. It includes
commissioned essays from noted critics, practitioners, and
theorists in the field, as well as key examples that allow insights
into methodologies, contextualize the conditions of sites, and
broaden the range of what constitutes an engaged culture. Of
interest to a wide range of readers, from practitioners and
scholars of performance to curators and historians, Making Another
World Possible offers both breadth and depth, spanning history and
individual works, to offer a unique insight into the field of
socially engaged art.
