Read this book! Its pages will inspire and guide artists adult educators and activists to create meaningful arts-based opportunities for personal and social change.-Terri Whetstone Artist and Executive Director 4Cs Foundation Nova Scotia Using the Creative Arts for Transformational Learning is a welcome new resource for all of us working in community-engaged arts. It expresses the difficulties and desires concerning the combination of personal and social/political creative expression with a refreshing mix of subtle thought personal experience and hands-on advice. Tessa Mendel responds to matters at the heart of our work - boldly asking a question that often gets side-stepped: how exactly does art-making cause change? In responding to this question she succeeds in the delicate task of offering a coherent analysis and approach that illuminates theory and assists practice without being prescriptive. I know that I will be referring to citing and recommending this book for years to come and Im proud that Jumblies is able to help publish and promote it.-Ruth Howard Artistic Director Jumblies Theatre Toronto Part memoir part work-book part-theory part exercise-guide this is a must-read and must-use book for any arts practitioner interested in personal and social change.
