Campaigning for the Creative Citizen

As the concept of engagement grows, and the possibility of relating art practice, research and public engagement expands, this workshop explores the issues around what it means to be an ‘engaged artist’ working within an ‘engaged university’. As cultural policy and education are significant components of citizenship, this workshop explores the definitions – and roles – of the ‘creative citizen’ with respect to cultural leadership in the form of the socially engaged art school, and its academic staff and students.
