(PER)FORMING COMMUNITIES: Socially engaged models across the performing and visual arts Delivered Friday, 26 November 2021 at Inter Arts Center (Malmö, Sweden) as a part of CKC’s Malmö II Community Biennal, in collaboration with the Malmö Theatre Academy and Inter Arts Center. The international history of socially-engaged artistic practice is long and varied, including movements in applied theater and community performance from the performing arts, as well as movements in activist art and social practice from the visual arts. What does it mean to excavate and join these genealogies of practice — politically and aesthetically—in our contemporary moment? Do contemporary socially-engaged artists have different political sensibilities? Are their aesthetic sensibilities reconcilable? This lecture reviews some key opportunities and debates around such questions, while setting the scene for a wider conversation amongst artists and artistic groups in the region.

In 2019, the leading theatres, venues and arts organizations in Skåne, Sweden came together to produce a festival that would not just be an ordinary showcase but open up the toolbox of art to local communities. Thus the Malmö Community Biennal was born. With co-creative processes, participatory dance, and interactive theatre, the mission of MCB is to erase the gap between the stage and the audience, share untold stories, and create new narratives in public life. CommunityKulturCentrum was created in 2020 for the ongoing advancement of the principles put forward in the first successful Malmö Community Biennal. In less than two years, CKC has become an important hub for social practice and community art Sweden and plays a leading role in catalyzing and supporting innovative projects between grassroots arts practitioners, institutions and others throughout the cultural sector. CKC’s network of members and partners includes theaters, libraries, museums, dance companies, independent artists, entrepreneurs, activists and civil servants, both in Sweden and abroad.
