Awakening Creativity shows in gloriously illustrated detail how
Lily Yeh guides a participatory process of artistic expression that
uplifts a distressed community. Her open, joyful approach to
artmaking is a model for building healthy cultural esteem. Lily Yeh
is an acclaimed visual artist who has worked with students,
community leaders and teachers in Canada, China, Ecuador, Ghana,
Kenya, Syria, Italy and in cities and neighborhoods across the
United States. Yeh is considered one of America's most innovative
urban designers and social pioneers. Awakening Creativity is her
first, much-awaited book. In Awakening Creativity, Yeh facilitates
the art-making process for students of The Dandelion School, the
only nonprofit organization in Beijing that serves the children of
poor migrant workers coming from 24 provinces. Yeh worked with
hundreds of students, teachers, volunteers and workers to transform
the school's main campus with mural painting, mosaics, and
environmental sculpture. Students were involved in every aspect of
the art-making, which has become central to the school's curriculum
and well-being. Lily Yeh founded Barefoot Artists, a volunteer
organization that uses the power of art to revitalize impoverished
communities. Yeh is also the co-founder and former director of The
Village of Arts and Humanities that has brought to life over 200
abandoned lots in the most distressed districts of North
Philadelphia.
