Living as Form is an international project exploring over twenty years of cultural works that blur the forms of art and everyday life, emphasizing participation, dialogue, and community engagement. Detailing some of the most important socially engaged projects from the last twenty years, this archive provides key examples, allows insights into methodologies, contextualizes the conditions of site, and broadens the range of what constitutes this form.
