In Conversation: Place and Revolution is a series of blog posts that put the place and context of socially engaged art at the fore. Beginning in March and continuing each week leading up to Open Engagement 2015, respondents from places across the world will each reflect on the issues in their locations and how socially engaged art is playing out in their backyard. The respondents will then be in dialogue about the issues, challenges, and possibilities of creating engaged work in the world. Edited by Gemma-Rose Turnbull
