In this edition of The SciArt Curator, we explore the intersection between art, science and politics through a conversation with Manuel Herrera-Usagre, PhD in Sociology of Culture and the Arts, scientific advisor to the Spanish Ministry of Labour and Social Economy, artist under the name tazzista, and researcher at INCASI2 for the University of Seville.
During the interview, Manuel shares:
His interdisciplinary career and how the idea of connecting art, science and public policy came about.
The Art+Science+Policy Nexus approach, which seeks to address social challenges through transdisciplinary collaboration.
Innovative projects, such as Strat-Art 3D, which transforms data on social mobility into immersive visual experiences to bring research closer to the public.
The importance of genuine dialogue between artists, scientists and policy makers, proposing residencies, co-design and active participation from the outset.
How art can turn complex data into emotional and understandable tools, especially on issues such as inequality and social mobility.
Manuel argues that structured support and the creation of specific calls for Art+Science projects are key to promoting this type of collaboration and achieving a real impact on society.
