What does it look like to infuse creativity into care settings in a sustainable way? On an individual basis and at the system level?
Anne Basting shares examples from her work in her recent book, Creative Care. Here, she explores how the integration of creativity and care might be financially sustainable, including social prescribing movements. COVID is laying bare health inequities and social isolation. Recovery demands sustainable attention to fostering meaningful community connection, something participatory arts are uniquely poised to support.
This 45-minute session will include a presentation and Q&A.
