SEAS (Socially Engaged Art Salon) is a BIPOC & LGBTQ led organisation that promotes socially engaged art practices and artists from underrepresented communities through exhibitions and cultural events. It also offers artists’ support programme and residencies.
SEAS' programme takes place at Black and Minorities Ethnic Community Partnership (BMECP) Centre, The Ledward Centre (TLC) the up and coming Brighton's LTBTQAI+ centre, and at the Jubilee Library. SEAS is the South East hub of the Social Art Network (SAN) and we often collaborate with invited curators, art institutes, charities and community organisations.
Founded by Dr Gil Mualem-Doron in 2016, and supported by Art Council England and Brighton&Hove City Council, SEAS is a beacon for socially and politically engaged art in Brighton and south-East England.
"Critical art is an art that aims to produce a new perception of the world, and therefore to create a commitment to its transformation."
Jacques Rancière
"Sometimes you have to imagine in a radical way that makes you seem a little crazy, that puts you in an embarrassing light, in order to open up a possibility that others have already closed down with their knowing realism."
Judith Butler
