Democracy as Creative Practice : Weaving a Culture of Civic Life Hardback
Edited by Tom Borrup, Andrew Zitcer
Part of the Community Development Research and Practice Series series
Hardback
Description
Democracy as Creative Practice: Weaving a Culture of Civic Life offers arts-based solutions to the threats to democracies around the world, practices that can foster more just and equitable societies.
Chapter authors are artists, activists, curators, and teachers applying creative and cultural practices in deliberate efforts to build democratic ways of working and interacting in their communities in a range of countries including the US, Australia, Portugal, Nepal, the UK, and Canada.
The book demonstrates how creativity is integrated in place-based actions, aesthetic strategies, learning environments, and civic processes.
As long-time champions and observers of community-based creative and cultural practices, editors Tom Borrup and Andrew Zitcer elucidate work that not only responds to socio-political conditions but advances practice.
They call on artists, funders, cultural organizations, community groups, educational institutions, government, and others to engage in and support this work that fosters a culture of democracy.
This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students in the humanities and social sciences, activists, funders, and artists who seek to understand and effect change on local and global scales to preserve, extend, and improve practices of democracy.
