Aims and Scope
How can art change society? What aesthetic
quality does dialog bring to art? What is the role of autonomy in dialogical art? Dialogical Interventions investigates how
dialogical art moves between the poles of social engagement, aesthetic autonomy and social change. Essays by international
authors and interviews with socially and politically engaged artists and collectives focus on the relevance of dialogical
and interventionist practices and their role in mediating new forms of knowledge and experience through art, thus opening
up new prospects for this exciting arena of activity. Between the individual texts, artist insertions document social artistic
practices on a visual level.
