Drawing on contributions from practicing artists, writers, curators and academics, Searching for Art’s New Publics explores the ways in which artists seek to involve, create and engage with new and diverse audiences: from passers-by encountering and participating in the work unexpectedly, to professionals from other disciplines and members of particular communities who bring their own agendas to the work.

Bridging the gap between practice and theory, the book touches on issues of relational aesthetics, but also offers an illustrated artist-based approach.

Chapter in question refers to the documentary film and wider project 'Bata-ville: We are not afraid of the future' created by Somewhere (Nina Pope & Karen Guthrie).
