Art and Social Change

Between 2014 and 2020, Oscar Ho (Director of the MACM programme between 2006 and 2020) organized six editions of Forum on Community Arts, each of which offered a critical examination of the philosophical and ethical issues, key terms, and operational models of Community Arts in Hong Kong and beyond. Since early 2021, the programme has embarked on a new project, Art and Social Change, with the goal of developing a framework for evaluating the social impact of the arts and documenting how this framework shapes emerging community art practices.

Cultural Mediation

Cultural mediators are gatekeepers, who define, select, and present the arts professionally, and in so doing, expose the public and (specific) communities to the benefit of the arts. This research is interested in how cultural mediators position themselves in relation to the various stakeholders within the arts and cultural sector.
