Artists' Prə-'spek-təs* for the Nation

In late 2012, Artists in Context will produce the first installment of its Artists’ Prə-'spek-təs* for the Nation, a multimedia work through which artists and other creative thinkers will propose innovative ways they, through conversations, research, creativity, and finely honed skills, could become integral to major debates on global, national, and local/regional scales.  Incorporating various texts, visuals, sounds and participatory elements, the 2012 installment of the Prə-'spek-təs* will focus on the AIC themes of NATURE, HEALTH and JUSTICE;  it will present ways of thinking about and responding not only to the challenges of the time in regard to these themes but also the promises that a future of change may bring. Broadly accessible and widely distributed, we envision that the Prə-'spek-təs* could become a source for policy making as well as widespread public conversations.
