Social arts are a multifaceted phenomenon initiated by diverse actors, spaces, and directions, driven by various intentions and goals. These artistic expressions seek to bring about personal, familial, group, community, or societal transformations that enhance resilience, communication, negotiation, and transitions. They also play a crucial role in community building, rehabilitation, civic engagement, social inclusion, and cohesion. Social arts manifest through community empowerment, institutions, arts in health, inter-ethnic conflict resolution, and advocacy for social change. By challenging power relations and hegemonic narratives, they destigmatize marginalized groups and humanize society by fostering empathy for others.
This comprehensive book offers a rich exploration of social arts, featuring numerous international examples of projects initiated by social practitioners and artists, as well as their collaborative endeavors. Each chapter focuses on methods and theoretical orientations, making it suitable for academic settings, training for social and art practitioners, and practitioners in the field. Through its multidisciplinary approach, the book aims to illustrate, explore, and demystify this interdisciplinary area of practice, contributing to a better understanding and application of social arts in promoting positive change.
