Social justice, participation, and inclusivity are key concerns for contemporary arts organisations and museums. This module considers why social justice and equality have become central concerns for the sector and an opportunity for important knowledge exchange. It introduces you to the ways in which organisations and institutions conceptualise their relationship with the public, and how the public can be incorporated into these spaces. This module thus introduces you to representational projects in which community groups, arts organisations, sites of memory, museums, and monuments co-create with groups who have been impacted by the sector's social value. It explores how approaches to social justice topics are contextualised by social, political debates beyond the museum and gallery sector and how this also enables museums and galleries to forge innovative and mutually-beneficial partnerships and networks. By critically examining co-designed and co-produced projects which challenge social exclusion, you will learn how participation and representation require structures and methods which enable all involved to contribute in a meaningful way.
