ABSTRACT
The Take Part workshop explores the philosophical, ethical, political and methodological crossovers that exist between artists and designers working with participatory processes. The workshop brings together artists and designers who have developed innovative and compelling methods for collaborating with audiences and end-users. It aims to actively develop shared possibilities for collaborative research between these two communities of practice. The workshop raises the following questions: What opportunities and challenges might be revealed by the comparative examination of participatory art and design practices? How are questions of aesthetics, utility and impact deployed in the evaluative structures of these two fields, and how might the discourses of each shed light upon the other? What might these two communities of practitioners learn from each other in terms of methodologies and strategies of engagement?
