Considering the question of how art can be consequential, Forces of Art stirs thinking of art in terms of a force that has the ability to transform. Contributors investigate the way in which artists, artworks and cultural organizations affect people and their social environments, and explore how cases of creative practice all over the world have been operational in empowering people, communities, and societies in their given contexts. Driving force is the shared concern and responsibility for societies worldwide, with regards to culture and the well-being of its communities. The result is a dense, multi-layered, polyvocal compendium of current thinking about the impact of art on civil society and social change.
