Creative material engaging with challenging issues often requires complex strategies of approach and engagement. Artistic projects with political goals often form as collaborations among artists of the same or different disciplines. Projects with complex data or documentary needs may require outreach to one or more communities, often in conjunction with service organizations. How can you work with service organizations to create a project that supports, rather than undermines, your cause?
