ATC Lecture: Social Art Works | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

When people talk about socially-engaged art, they often frame it as a trade-off: as social engagement increases, the artfulness and conceptual rigor decreases. Are there ways to get out of this impasse?

In this lecture Shannon Jackson, Chancellor’s Professor in Rhetoric and Theater, Dance, Performance Studies at UC Berkeley, explores recent experiments in socially-engaged art and performance, focusing particularly upon artists who conceive social problems as formal puzzles.
