Tools of education important for SEA

“The goal was to reenvision the child not as an empty container to be filled with facts but as an individual with rights, great potential, and diversity.” (p xi)

  • process of co-construction of KNOWLEDGE.
  • Good question


“Is possible to distinguish and define successful and unsuccessful socially engaged artworks?” 
--–> Knowledges, truths & which ones are re-affirmed daily? Who is to say what is & what isn’t?

  • the primary objective is NOT the MAKING

Similar words

  • relational aesthetics (aesthetics, static term on beauty, who’se beauty? by who’se standards?)
  • community
  • collaborative
  • participatory
  • communal
  • dialogic
  • public
  • social practice (“Instead the term democratizes the construct, making the artist into an individual whose specialty includes working with society in a professional capacity” (??)
  • not representation, but creating something collectively
  • social action
  • community building mechanisms
Picture
  • A,B,C,D,E in SEA. yes! applicable to mural project
  • it is the process itself
  • fluidity of communication
  • voluntary, involuntary, nonvoluntary
“Most successful SEA projects are developed by artist who have worked in a particular community for a long time and have an in-depth understanding of those participants” (p 20)
