Should I Do This Project? Developing Ethics Guidelines Together.

As artists, we want to use our creativity for social change, but what if we’re making things worse and not better? How can we decide what’s an ethical project that brings benefit to the communities we’re working with? This is a complex question without right answers, but together we can begin to articulate a shared ethics based on our experience. This workshop will use a series of case studies and group work to collaboratively develop some guidelines for socially-engaged art projects.
