‘This concept was inspired by my friend and one of the contributors to this book, Jan Jordaan, from Durban, South Africa, where the founding conference took place in 2010.
Since then, conferences have happened in Nicosia, Cyprus (2011) and Gernika, Spain (2012). While most of the chapters in this volume come from the second conference, the general spirit of ASJ, and its uniqueness as a forum and amalgamation of academics, artists and activists, is also present in this volume. This collection of essays and reflections by invited academics and artists takes on and interrogates different art forms and how these relate/connect to different forms of media. This is particularly important to many people due to the fast developing and ever changing
media environment. Generally, the book contains chapters in three key areas (with some overlaps). These are art, social justice and ethics, connections with media in different contexts, and art, social justice and practice-based research.’ Introduction by Mike Hajimichael
