This publication, co-authored by ISEAS director and curator Katja Juhola, project mentor Mari Krappala and two of the participating artists, Joan Marie Kelly and Clarice Zdanski, recounts the events that took place in autumn 2017 during Finland's first socially engaged art symposium. For ten days, participants lived together in a sort of "art camp", and worked in pairs or in small groups using social art methods in social sectors and elementary schools across Finland's Raseborg area. Juhola describes each of the symposium's projects (seven cases and nine communities), exploring the ideas arising from the interactions between artists as they lived and worked together during this period. The article by project mentor Krappala (Aalto University) is essentially a reflection on her conversations with the artists during the symposium. Joan Marie Kelly (NTU Singapore) and Clarice Zdanski (Franklin University Switzerland) present their ISEAS projects through their experience as art educators. Kelly elaborates on her history of SEA while Zdanski shares her reflections upon artistic practice, art education and SEA.
