Documents of Socially Engaged Art

Raphael Vella

Melanie Sarantou

Abstract: A performance artist and a choreographer cocreated and documented a socially engaged performance utilising electroencephalography (EEG) measurements. A remediated form of these measurements was sent to the choreographer, who reinterpreted these data through movement. EEG and video recordings and interviews were used to analyse possible forms of documentation through abstract remediations of bodily states.

A socially engaged art project conducted in Malta in 2021 brought together a group of participants from different sub‐Saharan African countries with artists and researchers to promote civic engagement and cultural inclusion and understand how participants' ideas could be promoted and discussed beyond the workshop. This article addresses one of the project's central themes – citizenship – and argues that democratic participation is enacted in the actual processes of social practice in art. Informed by the principles of Global Citizenship Education, the article highlights its references to human solidarity, empathy and sustainable development and distinguishes them from a notion of citizenship that is framed within the legal, political and physical boundaries of the nation‐state. While the segregation of non‐citizens in contexts like this can interfere with the development of voices of resistance and a sense of agency among migrants, the article explains how principles of Global Citizenship Education can enrich socially engaged practices in art and education by subverting fixed citizen identities in the performance of pedagogical processes and acts of presentation.

Challenging Misrepresentations of Roma Through Queer Romani Visual Self-Representations

This article considers, in social semiotic terms, the visual self-representations created by lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ, thereafter queer) Romani visual activists and artists, and some of the processes used in the course of a transdisciplinary, collaborative research project. Undertaken in 2019, its aim was to investigate, through queer intersectional research-informed interventions, the potential of this semiotic material – photographic renditions of the lived experiences of queer Roma – to challenge dominant stereotypical misrepresentations and an overall lack of visibility of queer Roma. Another goal was to further enhance the impact and accessibility of the knowledge co-produced with and by the queer Romani visual activists and artists by giving a visual form to their lived experiences of antigypsyism intersecting with homophobia, transphobia, sexism and other forms of oppression. This approach to co-producing knowledge enabled the queer Romani visual activists and artists not only to exercise control over the process of creating the visual self-representations, but also to spell out, in a visual form, the terms in which queer Roma wish to be represented.
