Dr Anthony Schrag is an artist, writer and researcher who has worked nationally and internationally. His practice occurs in a participatory manner, and central to all his work is a broader discussion about the place of art in a social context. He is currently programme leader of the MA in Arts, Festivals and Cultural Management at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ in Edinburgh. Lecturing interests include the ethics of artists ‘working with people’, critical pedagogies and practice-based research.
He has been the recipient of numerous awards, commissions and exhibitions and his practice-based PhD - completed in 2016 - explored the relationship between artists, institutions and the public, looking specifically at the productive nature of conflict within participatory artworks.
