Description

Rethinking the 'social' in social art practice

This presentation for the Relate North Symposium aimed to raise questions and prompt dialogue about the meaning and role of social art practice in relation to our rapidly changing world. It considered how artists and higher education for socially engaged practitioners are responding to ecological and social changes that impact human and more than human systems, the ecological and social forming and informing of each other over time. The MA degree programme in Art and Social Practice at the University of the Highlands and Islands provided a case study that aimed to show how responsiveness and flexibility help build a unique community of practice that embraces uncertainty and ambiguity to navigate these intertwined and entangled relationships. Emily Nicholl, an alumna from this MA degree course, describes her approach to her social art practice as ‘entangled togetherness’ – a celebration of support, solidarity and interdependence
through acts of holding, supporting and reciprocating (Nicholl, 2024).
