Art mediation.

What role can art play in addressing social inequality? We investigate socio-artistic practices as spaces for dialogue and civic engagement, examining how art mediation can contribute to social justice in diverse urban contexts. Using approaches like soft cartography, we explore how cultural interventions can open up new forms of urban citizenship.

Our current projects

Making public(s). Cultural mediation as public practice

In this project, we mapped the ways in which cultural workers develop social and artistic strategies of mediation, and how the relationship between artistic practice, audience(s), and context is navigated.

Music for social impact: practitioners’ contexts, work and beliefs

In this international project, a cross-cultural analysis was made of Socially Impactful Music Making (SIMM) activities and their practitioners.
