Art Outside

With Ed Woodham

Socially engaged art is public art that is not owned. It is created to bring attention to social issues or seek social change. Socially engaged art is produced through collaboration with people and communities. Join us at this Platform with artist Ed Woodham as he shares his experience and insights gained throughout his artistic career.

Ed Woodham is an independent elder Southern queer conceptual social-absurdist artist, curator, producer, and educator entangled in a mélange of NYC activities across media and culture for over 45 years. Woodham employs humor, irony, subtle detournement, and a striking visual style to encourage greater consideration of – and provoke deeper critical engagement – with the urban environment. Ed created the project Art in Odd Places (AiOP) as a response to vanishing public space and personal civil liberties.
Music by DuPree and Barry Kornhauser.
