Josh Lowenstein - Dialogical Art

1. Community - Attempting to identify with a community with works of art.
2. Collective Identity - People tend to be more accepting of those who are different than them when working on a community engaged project. This can have a dramatic impact on decreasing prejudice because people from multiple backgrounds can relate and identify with one another.
3. Capitalism - It is important to not make the art "too" forcefully engaging in a community because it can seem like the art piece is trying to sell you something.
4. Conversational Art - The type of art coined by Mikhail Bakhtin which is art that can have various meanings and gets people thinking and talking about the art
5. Art that helps bring awareness to a particular subject in a community such as the drug/prostitution problem in Zurich, Switzerland.
