Gift involves moving out of oneself. The economy of gift questions the dominant measure of value in the art world and beyond. Socially engaged art practices apply artistic methods in collaboration with community members to address issues in ways that promote individual and collective agency. This public deliberation, presented on February 23, 2014, focused on how the economy of gift could be applied to engaged art practices that seek to contend with our most pressing problems.
This program was co-hosted by MOCRA and Craft Alliance.
