Creative Assemblages for Social Impact

The third edition of the Cross Media Arts series is a constellation of creative practices relevant to social, ecological, and epistemic transformation. The projects assembled here address alternative ways of knowing, creating, and acting in the world through cross-disciplinary collaborations, involving artists, designers, researchers, and communities. From site-specific interventions and digital or physical interactions to participatory installations and performances, the works in this volume reflect a commitment to critical engagement, commonality, and care for both human and more-than-human issues. Edited as an assemblage, this volume reveals an eclectic and broad continuum of practices that question prevailing perspectives, encourage cohesion among individuals and their environments, and expand the field of social art and design as a space for listening, belonging, and emancipation.
