ART IN THE CONTESTED CITY
A Conference Exploring the Role of the Arts
in Contemporary Struggles over Urban Space
November 3, 2006
Pratt Institute
Higgins Hall
61 St. James Place
Brooklyn, NY
Our overriding goal is to open a dialogue around the intersections between art, culture and urban development so that we at Pratt Institute and around New York can envision new academic initiatives, critical engagement, and collaborations in this area. The key themes of this dialogue will include:
-the increasingly powerful role played by arts and culture in community development -the place of artists and the arts in current struggles over urban space -the impact of the housing and studio space shortage on contemporary art practice -innovative collaborations between artists and social movements addressing issues of sustainable urban development -funding opportunities in the growing field of arts and community development
