In this reading group, we will think through, critique and discuss (some) social limits and capacities of social art- art that engages the public, community, and/or site- to unearth how our positions as participants and/or artists function as ‘sites’ to be mobilized, exploited, and engaged in the service of social movements and dominant art markets.

All readings will be provided in English. Discussion will be conducted in Spanglish and in the colonial languages of English & Spanish.
