Social Practice is a newly institutionalized field where artists work in the public sphere on both individual and collaborative projects. Utilizing approaches in art making as varied as urban interventions, guerrilla architecture, public art, project-based community practice, interactive media, and street performance, artists and designers interact and collaborate with communities and public spaces in order to effectively engage cultural diversity and stimulate social transformation.
