Description
Participatory Arts in International Development by Paul Cooke and Inés Soria-Donlan explores the role of creative practices in promoting participation, activism, and alternative development futures. This collection of essays examines the intersection of art, power, and development, shedding light on innovative approaches to community engagement and social change. Through case studies from around the world, including Brazil, Colombia, Kenya, Kosovo, Rwanda, Cambodia, India, Uganda, and Bangladesh, this book reveals the potential of participatory arts to challenge dominant narratives and promote more inclusive and equitable forms of development. By integrating creative practices into international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) and community-led initiatives, Cooke and Soria-Donlan demonstrate how art can be a powerful tool for social transformation. This book is an essential resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers interested in the intersection of art, development, and social change.
