Routledge Socially Engaged Art and the Neoliberal City Book

Explore the role of art within modern urban environments with Socially Engaged Art and the Neoliberal City. Part of the Routledge Critical Studies in Urbanism and the City series, this book examines how artistic practices can challenge the way we perceive city spaces. Instead of viewing the urban landscape as a collection of static structures, this work looks at the diverse ways space is produced and experienced. Using a practice-led approach, the text provides a deep look into global case studies. Readers can learn through reflections on personal experiences and the work of various artists. The book also addresses the real-world challenges facing creators today, specifically the limits placed on public and socially engaged art due to the dominance of commercial funding. This is an essential resource for those studying the connection between creative practice and the changing nature of our cities.
