SPA seminar series Social Practice in the Arts practice-as-research seminars This year the Centre for Cultural Partnerships is re-‐launching its ‘Culture and Community Research Network’ seminars -‐ reorienting them to the growing prevalence and resonance of ‘social practice’ across the arts and community art. We aim to be relevant for MFA, PhD and other emerging researchers who have an interest in participatory, relational and socially-‐engaged practices. This includes methodological explorations of artistic, sensory and collaborative practices in conducting, generating and representing research. The speakers are outlined below -‐ from across a variety of practices, research experiences and interests on these themes.
Come along on selected Tuesdays, 3-‐5pm. Art Auditorium, School of Art, Gate 4, Dodds Street, VCA Southbank. (Unless advertised otherwise.) Seminars will be followed by an invitation to continue informal discussions over drinks and food nearby.
All welcome! These seminars are public events.
