Week 3 - This is how you connect practice with society

Can I be a social agent if I am a graphic designer? Before that, we need to grasp upon social agents and graphic designers. Social agents are people that amplify your message and content by collaborating and communicating with people. Similarly, graphic designers create visual concepts that communicate people’s information. Therefore, graphic designers are just as similar to social agents, where both need to communicate information and the needs of people. The only difference is in how they execute it- graphic designers express it through a creative touch whereas a social agent will express it through action. Hence, a graphic designer can be a social agent and vice versa. 

When one is a graphic designer with similar intentions as a social agent, they’re practising what they call “social-engaged practice”. Socially-engaged practice, sometimes referred to as social practice or socially engaged art, encompasses a wide range of artistic forms that involves people and communities in discussions, partnerships or social interactions. To put it short and simple, it is an art form that focuses on meaningful social issues and social discourses as its main medium. 

An example of this practice is Edi Whitehead’s work, titled “Rewriting the Dictionary: Portraits of an Essex Girl”, which showcases the stories of women and non-binary people from Essex. Her project is based on her negative experience growing up in Essex. Back in Essex, she felt that she could not confidently be a feminine queer due to the strong stereotype of women that people uphold. Hence, she did this project as a voice, telling the women and non-binary people in Essex that their feelings are valid and stay grounded to those that belittle them.

bro what the hell. mayonaka desktop

[Image ID for the 2nd image: Izanami from Persona 4 on a computer desktop sitting on a chair, while fog floats around in several places.

She holds a book open with her left hand. The book cover reads, "how 2 make gas station attendant" with the subtitle, "as referenced from the collective unconscious of: Inaba".

She uses the mouse with her right hand. The computer screen displays several "stats" with corresponding bars filled up to various amounts. The labels read "height," "autism," "babygirl," "gay," and "manwhore." There is a "randomize" button at the very bottom of the screen, and a "remaining points:" indicator to its side; the numbers indicated are obscured by fog.

There are two sticky notes on the computer case. One reads "add more babygirl," the rest of the note is obscured by a second note that reads "who wrote this" with an arrow pointing at the note below it. In front of the computer case is a mug that reads "#1 MANAGER" that sits on top of a coaster. End ID/]
