Expert workshops focusing on the evaluation criteria for art in social contexts with a focus on how to evaluate best practices.
Experimental Methodology of Playdepot - Initiative Approaches and its Impact on Evaluation
Chair: Leung Mee Ping
About Playdepot
Playdepot was founded based on the ideal concept between community manufactures and artists, creating various forms of playing for the locals. Through re-design and up-cycling, participating artists teamed up with the locals to give new life to industrial and household waste, simultaneously engaging everyone within the community (information taken from here).
Questions discussed
