The Work of Arts Workers in Healthcare

The project aims to better understand the ways arts workers themselves value, understand/conceptualize, and enact their work in health settings, as well as how the health institutions and workers from other disciplines and professional practices also conceptualize and value these arts workers and their work.  This project is situated as part of new understandings of the importance of community-strengthening and relational practices as part of supporting the health of individuals and their communities beyond biomedicine, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
