Arts Creation

Arts Creation: A Curriculum of Relationality, Resurgence, and Renewal is a curated collection of arts-informed, creation-centred, and storying practices in research and education. "The ceremonies, and their resurgence, is a curriculum of relationality and one that must be renewed continually. This, too, can be challenging. Difficult but necessary work." - Cynthia Chambers & Erika Hasebe-Ludt Author|Artists' weave threads of imagery, poetry, narrative, and verse, with sound and story that evoke our capacity to re-imagine our world differently. Their diverse and distinct voices and expressions remind us of the powerful sustenance our creative spirit can manifest. They show us how the arts can actively decolonize, heal, build relationships, return, reclaim, and honour our relational connections. These lessons teach us how we can lift-up voices, resist colonial narratives, strengthen our resolve to respect and honour each other, and celebrate life. "These writers and artists have gifted their audience with the radiant hope of a curriculum that will enable our children, and our children's children, to find their place in the family of things." - Cynthia Chambers & Erika Hasebe-Ludt ¿ It is our hope that this inspirited collection provides a relational and creation-centred approach for artists, artist-researchers, educators, and those engaged in reconciliatory work.
