SOCIAL ART PUBLICATIONS
SAP aims to develop expanded critical and reflective dialogue around the work of socially engaged practice, be a platform to showcase new work, strengthen peer support for artist book distribution, and be a database of current and historic publications.
Launched in November of 2019, SAP is home to 9 Social Art publications that branch from Phycho-Geography, Queer Studies to 21st Century Folk Art.

As well as Applied Live Art’s launch of ‘100 stars in the Sky’,. a self-mentoring tool inviting creative practitioners to choose a selection of tips as guides for any given project, situation or process
SAP wants you to have personal relationship with the publications, that is why ‘Afterwords’ – a Q&A was made alongside each author to give an insight into the different ways you can produce a publication. Every author is asked the same five questions about a selected book.
