Consider the intersection of art and social justice during a weekend-long screening of the
2014 Creative Time Summit. Creative Time is a New York-based nonprofit organization which focuses on innovative, site-specific, and socially engaged public art works.
During the day on Friday and Saturday, sit in to watch sessions which investigate artists’ work as it relates to Nationalisms, Performing the City, Activating Public Space, Art in the Surveillance State, and Migrations, broadcasted from the summit in Stockholm. Between sessions on Friday and Saturday, engage with students of the University of Washington’s ART365: Art and Social Practice course, in activities and discussions surrounding themes of the Summit.
On Friday evening, attend a panel discussion with artists and creatives from the Seattle area, as they address themes and topics from the summit, and connect to projects and activities here in our community.
This program is organized in partnership with the Art 365: Art and Social Practice class in the Interdisciplinary Visual Arts Program (University of Washington, School of Art + Art History + Design) and Professor Timea Tihanyi.
