'Art and social impact' was a HeartEdge workshop in the 'Living God's Future Now' programme that aimed to be a conversation with artists whose work has a social impact dimension in order to explore the question of art and social change. There was discussion of personal journeys in addressing issues of social concern, approaches used, and expectations in terms of impact. The session also explored ways in which churches can engage with such art and use it for awareness raising with congregations and wider.
The artists with whom I was in conversation were:
