ART IN SOCIETY \/ International Conference<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

1 \u2013 4 July 2026, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences<\/strong>, Zagreb, Croatia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conference explores art as a dynamic force embedded in social and cultural life, shaping and reflecting the communities in which it is created and in which it exists and circulates. Artworks and artistic practices are active participants in negotiating political, religious, and cultural identities, challenging social hierarchies, and offering new ways of seeing and understanding the world. They intervene in social life by generating knowledge, amplifying marginalized voices, and fostering dialogue across diverse communities through participatory urban projects, public installations, exhibitions, or digital platforms. Art\u2019s symbolic and epistemic power allows it to question dominant narratives, create alternative perspectives, and expand collective understanding, while collaborative production and audience engagement further transform both meaning and social impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
