ART HIST 383: Socially Engaged Art: Inside and Outside Art Institutions

Course Description

This course examines a worldwide contemporary art current, emergent since the early 1990s, as it has been theorized under different concepts and practiced in various forms. Taking a thematic approach, we will examine various case studies throughout the world, including Europe, United States, Latin America, and India. We will consider socially art projects unfolding with and within various communities and outside the art institution and the ways in which it intersects with art activism.
