Description
Arts, Culture and Community Development by Rosie R Meade and Mae Shaw explores how arts and cultural practices are meaningful to communities. The book examines examples from around the world, including Lebanon, Latin America, China, Ireland, India, Sri Lanka, and beyond, to understand how diverse communities use the arts as a means of engagement. The authors investigate the theory and practice of 'cultural democracy', exploring various aesthetic forms such as song, music, muralism, theatre, dance, and circus arts. This book provides insight into how communities re-imagine or seek to change personal, cultural, social, economic, or political conditions through their artistic expressions. By examining these diverse examples, the authors shed light on the role of the arts in community development, highlighting their potential as a tool for social change and community engagement.
