“Questions of Community is
a valuable contribution to the ongoing dialogue concerning the
definition and boundaries of community and the role that artistic
coalitions have played in the women’s, environmental, and labour
movements as well as with respect to issues of race, sexual
identity, and AIDS.”
-Christine Hughes, Canadian
Book Review Annual
The contemporary art world is
experiencing a dramatic rearrangement of alliances these days.
Changing notions of coalitions, community and audience have
contributed to a re-evaluation of what works and what doesn’t for
artists working toward social change. In this timely anthology, more
than twenty writers and artists share their experiences in a range
of Canadian contexts. From First Nations coalitions to
artist-mentoring programs, important arts activist projects are
described and analyzed, primarily by those involved. Accessible and
engaging, this book offers years of collective experience and wisdom
to all those involved in changing Canadian culture.
