Serina Bernstein—DIALOGICAL ART

·      Dialogue-based public art. Example: Suzanne Lacy's The Roof is on Fire: A piece where young people or color dialogued improvisationally in parked cars about the issues they faced because of their background.

·      The upset of the norm through a phsycial/spatial method as a way of trying to create a new interaction. Example: WochenKlausur's Intervention to Aid Drug-addicted Women: A series of talks held unconventionally on a boat between sex workers, journalists, political people and activists. (The boat being the method)

·      Performative interaction. Example: Code 33 Project: Conversation between many police and young people of color in a parking garage. The interaction is a performance.

·      Activist: Example: Routes: A project that used interaction between Bus drivers in Belfast and different types of visual artists as a way to learn from the knowledge of the Bus drivers and apply it to emerging peace struggles around religious differences.

·      Less-aesthetic focused. Example: Intervention to Aid was less about the aesthetic of the piece, but more about the practical strategy of the aesthetic.
