An interactive digital space, for and about social art practice. SOAL holds a collection of projects submitted by artists, custom content created and commissioned by Axis, outcomes from an artist/librarian-in-residence programme, and a digital archive of current thinking around the intersection between art and society. This can all be accessed on the library’s website. 

During the complex and tumultuous events of 2020, the team sought to create a centralised hub for all things social practice, placing the control of its histories and narratives in the hands of those who knew it best, whilst developing a useful resource for institutions looking to commission new projects. R.M. Sánchez-Camus received support from Art Fund and partnered with Social Art Network to select 12 Art Ambassadors that developed innovative ways of documenting and archiving social practice. Their projects established useful and meaningful approaches to showcase knowledge within the field, and have been documented on the Axis website.
