Emily Carr University of Art + Design

A series of panel discussions, workshops, and research presentations that explore a variety of socially engaged practices at ECU and beyond!

How can socially-engaged practices and community-engaged art offer perspectives and methodologies that allow us to better respond to our complex world? How does the scope of social practice in art + design adapt to emergent crises? By thinking through these questions, the Faculty of Culture + Community at Emily Carr University of Art + Design presents the Social Practice + Community Engagement (SPACE) Symposium. Join us October 25-30, for a series of panel discussions, participatory workshops, and creative research presentations that explore a variety of themes and approaches that are relevant to the field of socially engaged creative practices. The goal of the symposium is to highlight current and innovative social and community-based practices while focusing on artists and designers who navigate and articulate relationships to the land, the city, and diverse communities as central methodologies in their work.Supported by a SSHRC Institutional Grant.M﻿ore info here: https://blogs.eciad.ca/cac/space-symposium/
