This editorial contains a group of articles in which students were asked to document their favourite community art project. Then, they were asked to assess them based on two different frameworks. The first framework focusses on transformative and artistic power and involvement of the community, while the second adds a political dimension to the positioning. These are discussed by students in Beyond Social in a traditional wiki way (using the accompanying discussion pages). In this way, Beyond Social will slowly develop a mapping of social art and design based on communal agreement on the positioning in these frameworks. |

The editor gave a presentation on this field which can be found [http://prezi.com/gjntidba-qbd/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy at Prezi].</ref>. In it, Gielen argues for a distinction between the following (gradual) dichotomies: |

| − | + | * Auto-relational vs Allo-relational. When in the end the artists own signature is more important than the communities', a work is called auto-relational. When, on the other hand, the position of the author is subservient to that of the community. | |
