Nadzieja, niezgoda, solidarność. Sztuka społecznie zaangażowana na czasy kryzysów

Abstract

This article is wrapped around the notion of artivism and social art revealing the variety of phenomena and philosophies that fall within the field of these practices. The author looks at current trends in social art and discusses them both in relation to the broader, current context of the field of art and from the perspective of potential future developments. She cites selected examples of activities that combine art, activism, education, and work with the community and, analyzing them, points out their main goals and the demands for change they bring with them. In doing so, she seeks to name the most relevant and vital topics and social issues – both those already being addressed and explored by engaged art, and those that appear to be an important direction for it to head in. Key-words: community art, participation, artivism, democratic turn, audiences, art with community
