Worlding Public Cultures: The Arts and Social Innovation aims to develop a critical art theory and practice based approach to social innovation, which takes worlding as its central methodology. It is a collaborative research project and transnational platform conceived by the Transnational and Transcultural Arts and Culture Exchange (TrACE) network and funded by a Social Innovation Grant from the Trans-Atlantic Platform for the Social Sciences and Humanities.
