Sari Karttunen: Socially Responsible Arts Institutions and Artists

Socially Responsible Arts Institutions and Artists counts on art’s ability to enable equal encounters between people from different backgrounds in itself, without any particular application. Art and research is being performed essentially in communities, with communities, on their terms and for them. The forms of activity are prison theatre, community museum, community art, audience involvement courses and guided walks in the city.
