politics: Politics is the process by which groups of people make decisions. It is the authoritative allocation of values. Although the term is generally applied to behaviour within governments, politics is observed in all human group interactions, including corporate, academic, and religious institutions. We would like to consider how art can contribute to and re-imagine politics and take our lead in this respect from Jacques Rancière. He explains "Art is not political owing to the messages and feelings that it carries on the state of social and political issues. It is not political owing to the way it represents social structures, conflicts, or identities. It is political by virtue of the very distance that it takes with regard to those functions." Art may be able to let us imagine politics differently.
