Socially engaged art is art constructed with the intention towards political or social change, social critique, and/or created in collaboration with community members. When speaking of socially engaged art in the context of digital or networked technologies, it uses digital media as the medium or referring to it as its main subject matter.
Teaching as an art practice can also be a socially engaged art, in its effort to create safe spaces where people from diverse backgrounds, especially youth, can engage meaningfully and learn from one another. Hosting technical skill-building opportunities at a low cost lowers the barrier of entry. They emphasize the importance of democratizing the web, increasing access and representation to technologies. I wonder if SFPC (an experimental school grounded in empowerment through a deeper technical and political understanding of the tools we use) or POWRPLNT (a media arts organization that frequency hosts free workshops to elevate digital literacy and encourage expression via technology) could be strong examples. They are primarily online-based spaces of learning that facilitate the study of art, code, software, hardware, or critical theory at low cost or with scholarship. They provide spaces where people can share things they know and increase digital literacy so that people can protect or advocate for themselves better.
