Public Art Encounters: Art, Space and Identity - Paperback

by Martin Zebracki (Editor), Joni M. Palmer (Editor)

This lively collection is a mix of academic and practice-based writing that scrutinises conventional claims on the inclusiveness of public art practice. It advances critical insights of how socially practiced public arts articulate and cultivate geographies of social difference, through the themes of power, affect and diversity.
