Art for a Better World

Supported by the Open Societal Challenges Fund, King's College London and the British Association for the Study of Religions, the Open University, King’s College London and Pitik Bulag cartoon collective organised Artists and Academics Addressing Global Challenges, a competition to bring together outreach-focused academics and cartoonists to collaborate on a series of images that make the latest research about pressing social challenges accessible to general audiences.  

​

Together with a visual foreword, their resultant works are touring a range of academic conventions and art exhibitions over the course of 2024-2025.  In June-July 2024, they appeared as part of Art for a Better World, at Kirkleatham Museum. As part of that exhibition, we incorporated artwork produced in our workshop with local Year 10 students, who produced art on the social issues that matter to them. You can find out more about exhibitions on the website of the Democracy, Disinformation and Religion project that led to this collaboration.
