Interdisciplinary researcher, co-director: Performing City Resilience. Creative practices for emergency planning & strategic place management. Own views/teeth.
@lsupress@drpatrickduggan While grounded in one city, the book offers lessons and provocations for urban contexts globally, and we invite colleagues in cities internationally to attend to intersections between their own local performance cultures and formal resilience management practices.
@lsupress@drpatrickduggan A city’s arts ecosystem is fundamental to its ability to perform resilience. In this book, we argue that enabling and supporting new, mutually beneficial connections between arts and resilience practitioners is essential to managing city challenges.
@mtthwhgn Crikey, yes. Without wanting to self promote (too much), this closely relate to work @drpatrickduggan and I have done recently: https://t.co/an1VWk5yAD Maybe we need an interdisciplinary panel to discuss how different disciplines might approach enacting whole society resilience?
Too often, the bringing in of artists is instrumental or incidental rather than fundamental or strategic. If we are serious about engaging in whole society resilience, then we need urgently to find productive ways to engage with arts and culture as critical elements of society.
In the latest issue of @CRJ_reports, @drpatrickduggan and I reflect on the critical role that the arts play in whole society resilience, focusing on mural-making in New Orleans and community arts workshops led by @citizenstheatre Glasgow.
