The book `Andreja Kulunčić: Umjetnost za društvene promjene / Art for Social Changes` provides a selection of twelve projects of artist Andreja Kulunčić made in the period from 2000 until 2013 in the framework of various Croatian and international exhibitions and art events.

In addition to representing the work of this important Croatian artist with an international reputation, the book is a kind of textbook and an introduction to the art of social practice: a specific form of collaborative artistic practice in which the artist responds to the specific social situation activating its participants to conscious reflection and change.

Through a rich visual material and an introductory essay and texts witten by Irena Bekić, the book presents the artist`s work which deals with themes of social justice, the position of women in contemporary society, the problem of illegalized emigrants, prison conditions, unfavorable treatment of workers, the degree of tolerance towards others, the problem of stigmatization of psychiatric patients, commercialization of tourism, attitude towards reading and book, the possibilities of self-organizing communities, etc.

The book was designed by Dejan Dragosavac-Ruta, Andreja`s longtime collaborator.

The book is equally addressing professional audiences as well as anyone interested in social engagement towards a more tolerant, more sensitive, more aware and more creative coexistence in the community.
