Visible: Art as Policies for Care – Socially Engaged Art (2010–ongoing) presents a new scene of artistic practices that interpret the dematerialization of art into transformative cultural and care policies, addressing the climatic, social, and political urgencies of our times. The book brings together voices from artists, anthropologists, novelists, activists, and sociologists, such as Anna Tsing, Wissal Houbabi, Maria Thereza Alves, Tania Bruguera, Jonas Staal, DAAR – Decolonizing Architecture Art Research, Giuseppe Campuzano and Nan Goldin. These diverse contributors offer insight into the projects’ impact and their potential to inspire new policies of care within society. By narrating a transnational movement, the book highlights the interconnectedness of artists and key figures who are shaping the discourse on socially engaged art. In addition to project insights from the artists and outlooks by experts from other fields, the book includes a series of ‘assemblies’ where practitioners share their thoughts, fostering collective learning. These dialogues are complemented by a comprehensive timeline of Visible’s assemblies and temporary parliaments, and an epilogue by philosopher Emanuele Coccia on the future of socially engaged art.
