ART & SOCIAL IMPACT GROUP
A working group on the topic of the intersection of art and social impact. The group is investigating art as a tool to give communities and people opportunities to express, grow and develop, bringing art as a topic to the table in the SDG discussions.
OBJECTIVES
Networking and Collaborating: Building new allies and synergizing with other networks, initiatives, and communities and amplifying each other's work in the SDG space.
Learning, collaborative action, sharing: The group as a peer learning space to share challenges, and best practices in the intersection of art and social impact. Additionally, it should serve as a seedbed for collective and collaborative action and fostering collaborations among the members. Giving members the opportunity to showcase their work and tap into the network for synergies.
Research: Working with the research on the intersection of art and social impact.
ADVOCACY & CHANGING THE NARRATIVE
Working on the pre-and misconceptions around art and its meaning in society. (e.g. Advocacy for funders: funders are shying away from art projects If they hear about a project that works with art & education, the same project will be most likely to be funded if it is called an "education project" and barely receive support if called an "art-project".) There are many layers to this issue.
