About this issue:
Issue 45 of the Journal explores issues of class, socio-economic disadvantage and inequality in relation to gallery education and engagement programmes and the related sector.
The articles in Engage 45: Class and Inequality, although different in terms of their scope and focus, are consistent in demonstrating that class not only has a significant impact on the visual arts education workforce and its practice, but it is often ignored. Readers will feel a call to action as the responsibility to play a role in changing that falls on us all.
Class and inequality is divided into three sections: What to change? is a series of essays and conversations that articulate the current situation; Ways of seeing suggests alternative methods to approach and understand where we are; Spaces and places is detailed analysis of specific locations and projects that explore social class in visual art education.
Contributions cover a vast geographical landscape, including Cape Town, South Africa, rural Portugal, rural Norfolk, Greater Manchester, the Midlands, London, the Welsh Valleys, Dundee and China, with articles either being focused on or influenced by their surroundings.
As well as place, this issue considers the intersection of class with concepts such as race and sexuality.
