Beyond Social is an international and collaborative research and publishing platform on social design. It connects professionals and students from different fields of expertise. It is a platform for trial and error, for sharing knowledge, projects, visions and opinions with the goal of finding out what is needed in order to take social practices to the next stage.
Beyond Social offers a platform for challenging and engaging design and art practices that have a desire to have a transformative impact on society. Accordingly, these practices do not only focus on the development of 'good' pieces of art or design, but, they also propose or realize alternative systems, procedures and processes.
What does it take for artists and designers to deal with today's societal challenges? What different strategies and concepts can we use? What are inspiring examples and what are great failures? And, if we need to collaborate with stakeholders, then how can we maintain our autonomous position? What expertise and added value do we represent as artists or designers? What and how, in fact, do we DESIGN or DO as social designers?
Let's find out together; Beyond Social connects contributers by a wiki. In this way, it becomes an open and collaborative platform. Please feel free to contribute!
You can contribute by commenting on existing articles, adding new articels or sending in proposals for new editorials.
Background
Beyond Social is initiated by Iris Schutten (WdKA Social Practices) and developed by Hybrid Publishing Practices at Willem de Kooning Academy (WdKA), University of Applied Sciences in Rotterdam. Right from the start Beyond Social aimed at being a platform for a wider community than WdKA alone. It has always invited students as well as experts of different disciplines, intitutions an nationalities.
Social Practices The Social Practices is an interdisciplinary graduation profile at WdKA and focuses on issues of cultural diversity, sustainability/new earth, open design and gamification/powerplay.
Hybrid Publishing Practices Researching and experimenting across a broad range of processes native to digital and analog media, Hybrid Publishing Practices fosters novel approaches to design, writing, reading, dissemination and embraces the plurifomity of publishing made possible through the legacies of Gutenberg's press to present-day technologies.
