Art of Connection - 4 Domains of Creative Health
After a bit of a hiatus, we're launching a new series inspired by our Arts Council England funded project, The Art of Connection.Across the series we'll be exploring creativity, connection, community and well-being through conversations with people working at the intersection of arts, health and social change.Our first episode features a conversation with the National Centre for Creative Health, reflecting on the four domains of creative health and what they might mean for communities, organisations and practitioners.This podcast explores community centred ways to demonstrate impact in arts and creative health projects, emphasising relational, process-driven, and narrative approaches over traditional metrics.
