It focuses on a certain message that should be exchanged through the artwork and spark a conversation between individuals. This can be a conversation of debate, collaboration, or activism. One of Grant Kester&#8217;s famous books called &#8220;Conversation Pieces: The Role of Dialogue in Socially-Engaged Art,&#8221; discusses the goal of dialogical art while also tracing its origins and giving examples of the art throughout history.<\/p>\n<p>One example of dialogical art is done by Ai Weiwei, an important figure in the socially-engaged arts. He was a Chinese artist that based his artwork on speaking out against democracy . His most famous piece of art work was titled Sunflower Seeds which displayed a huge pile of seeds to represent the loss of individual importance because of mass production . This piece of work was\u00a0interactive\u00a0at the Tate Museum in London and visitors were able to walk over and pick up all of the sunflower seeds.<\/p>\n<p>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/dzn_Sunflower-Seeds-2010-by-Ai-Weiwei-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3326\" src=\"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/dzn_Sunflower-Seeds-2010-by-Ai-Weiwei-5-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/dzn_Sunflower-Seeds-2010-by-Ai-Weiwei-5-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mjsymuleski.com\/artofthemooc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/dzn_Sunflower-Seeds-2010-by-Ai-Weiwei-5.jpg 468w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grant Kester&#8217;s development of dialogical art, also know as socially-engaged art or community art, is normally used to promote awareness in a public space.
