A RESTLESS ART
Co-creation for social justice
A Restless Art describes the history, theory and practice of community art. It’s free to download here, along with case studies and other resources.
Elsewhere on this site you can find the five books in the Regular Marvels series, reports, essays, and other writing including documents on the early history of the community arts movement going back to the 1970s.
Other work includes a European project on opera co-creation, publications on culture and international development and community heritage projects. The podcast about cultural democracy that I co-host with Arlene Goldbard is here.
