The call for papers and activities is now closed for the conference iDARE 2016.
We are scheduling the program to begin at 2pm on Tuesday 27th Sept and to finish between 3-4pm on Wednesday 28 Sept. There will be a registration link up in the beginning of June to register for the conference.
An evening of conversation with Jonathan Green (host of Radio National’s Sunday Extra and editor of Meanjin), Peter Singer(philosopher), Anna Broinowski (filmmaker, author) and James Button (author, former journalist & speech writer to Kevin Rudd).
What are the ethical challenges of making art about real life, with real people, in a world of real politics? What are the responsibilities? What role can art play?
The event Terms of Engagement: Ethics and Participatory Art was videoed on the 4 May 2016, 5:30pm – 6:30pm.
‘Community-based art’, ‘community practice’, ‘political art’, ‘participatory art’, ‘relational art and aesthetics’ and ‘socially engaged art’ are just some of the terms used to describe the art practice of artists who engage directly in some way or other with ‘the community’.
This forum brings together a number of artists whose work sits in this space to address questions related to power and accountability within community arts practice. In particular it will discuss the ethical responsibility of artists to the wider communities they practice within, and to the artists’ individual ‘subjects’ who are left to deal with the aftermath of the ‘attention’ of researchers and artists.
The forum was chaired by Dr James Oliver (VCA and MCM, University of Melbourne) with a brilliant cast of speakers including: Dr Kate Just (VCA and MCM, University of Melbourne), Tal Fitzpatrick (University of Melbourne), Juliana Keller (University of Melbourne), Professor David Cross (Deakin University) and Dr Lucas Ihlein (University of Wollongong).
