Title: Is Art a Privilege? A Digital Sculpture
Venue and Format: Online digital experience
Innovation: This is a company of entirely young artists, and they have created a digital sculpture that is available for the world to see. They are also advocating for a world that treats art as a requirement for every day life.
CONCLUSION PENDING have created a sculpture in a digital space that symbolises their message: the Arts are a necessity that society is treating as a privilege. From July 31, 2020, the company distributed postcards to residents in each of their local areas, with the image of the sculpture photoshopped to appear beside local schools and a message encouraging recipients to visit the company’s website. Once online, visitors are guided through the political landscape of Arts as privilege vs. necessity, and empowered to support change through online resources and petitions.
