PARTICIPATION IS RISKY –  A NEW BOOK

Dr Yanki Lee, director of our Lab, recently contributed to an interesting book, Participation is Risky: Approaches to joint creative processes, edited by Dr Liesbeth Huybrechts. It illustrates how interesting participative practices and results are typically characterized by the «risky» confrontation between the differences of disciplines and perspectives. Three thought-provoking chapters, namely, Risky Trade-offs, Hybridity and Generativity, are not to be missed. While artists’ works are fluid and have no fixed forms, Participation Is Risky proposes that artists engaging in participative practices must be bold to take the risk of abandoning their traditional roles, and thus evolving through participatory collaboration.
