Abstract

The emerging ‘Arts Based Community and Diverse Economies Community of Practice’ (ABC/DE) are facilitating two workshop-sharings, in different time zones, where artists/ practitioners/researchers will share examples and experiences of creating, using, researching arts for building/understanding/engaging with community economies. In each session, 4-5 CERN members will share a creative practice, arts intervention, arts-based approach to Community and Diverse Economies. These short presentations will be followed by an open discussion.

Our goal is to create a space for arts activity and dialogue that will eventually inform a broader research project, exhibition/collection, book/publication on the arts and community/diverse economies. We hope to continue building a community of practice that will inform this future project.

Presenters include: Aviv Kruglanski, Kate Rich, Caroline Woolard, Bianca Elzenbaumer, Ana Heras, Āsa Stahl, Gradon Diprose, Heather McClean and Molly Mullen
