This book investigates how arts-based research methods can
positively influence people's resilience and well-being,
particularly in constraining environments. Using examples from
arts-based research methods in different contexts and from across
the globe, the book brings together a diverse range of perspectives
to understand how both resilience and well-being can be supported
in a world that is rarely stress free. Collectively they
demonstrate how arts-based research methods can: provide agency
through the foregrounding of participants' voices; afford
transformational learning opportunities; create opportunities for
relationship building; support creativity and new ways of thinking;
generate aspirations and hope; encourage forms of communication
that expose ideas, emotions and feelings that previously might not
have been known or known how to be expressed; and enhance
reflection and reflexivity. The authors explore how art-based
practices, such as clowning, collage, dramatisation, drawing,
painting, role-play and sculpting, can be used to support the
resilience and well-being of individuals and groups across the
lifespan, and theorize how arts-based research methods can
positively contribute to participants' positive self-esteem,
self-image and ability to cope with challenges and new
circumstances. Academics, professional learning facilitators,
higher education students, and anyone interested in resilience and
well-being in the health and education sectors will find this an
interesting and engaging text.
