Griffith REVIEW: Cultural Solutions
edited by Julianne Schultz
Homelessness, family violence, drug abuse, and alienation: have our leaders and policy makers been going about it all wrong? What if karaoke could create cultural cohesion in fractured communities; or if hospitality helped house people; or if troubled kids could turn their lives around by telling stories?
At a time when austerity informs economic policies in even the ‘essential’ areas of health and education, is it time to reconsider the returns from funding arts and culture? There are proven benefits of using the arts to develop and maintain social cohesion and innovation.
Griffith REVIEW: Cultural Solutions explores new ways Australians are working together and solving social problems that governments and other organisations have struggled with.
Contributors including Robyn Archer AO, Scott Rankin, Marcus Westbury, Jim Hearn, Alice Pung, Maria Tumarkin, along with many others.
