This research group signals a new direction in the creative and cultural industries that addresses the emerging concerns of localised and place-based creative practices in promoting and sustaining community wellbeing.
The vision of the research group is to examine the crucial role of arts, culture and place-based creativity in community recovery and resilience. Its purpose is to bring together researchers and practitioners from Creative Practice, Design, Communication and Health to collaborate on interdisciplinary research to co-create our shared futures.
Our aim is to develop and test arts-led approaches to foster community wellbeing and belonging through:
- Leading cross-sector partnerships.
- Developing novel methods and technologies to connect people and places.
- Co-creating new approaches to community engagement, data collection and impact assessment.
