A book, produced by Framer Framed & Willem de Kooning Academy, consisting of two interconnected volumes produced after a series of online workshops discussing collaborative publishing design. Vol.1: Art for (and within) a Citizen Scene connects people working within South-East-Asia contexts to share their creative practices. It sheds light on practices in communities where collaboration is common in daily life, where art is seen not only as a self-contained profession, but also as a way of living. Vol.2: Be Water, My Friend: Non-Oppositional Criticalities of Socially Engaged Art in China looks at different forms of socially engaged artistic and cultural practices in China. These practices address a range of social issues in the country’s cities, including the unequal treatment of migrant workers and denigration of urban villages.
