CRPR08001 2022 Inclusive Arts
The value of the arts in social care and community contexts, and in the field of early years care and education, is increasingly recognised. Inclusive arts has been defined as‘….supporting creative opportunities between marginalised and non-marginalised people through artistic facilitation and collaboration as a means of challenging existing barriers and promoting social change’ (Fox, 2015). This module equips students with theoretically-informed and experiential learning in the field of inclusive arts. Firstly, it explores issues such as power, racism, inclusion and exclusion using art, discussion and case studies. Secondly, class groups will undertake a six-week collaborative project with a marginalised community group (such as people who have intellectual disabilities), culminating in an event or exhibition. Through active participation and reflection, students will be introduced to artistic techniques and group processes that may be adapted to work with a diverse range of individuals and groups, including children, young people, older people and asylum-seekers.

Inclusive Arts Practice and Research interrogates an exciting and newly emergent field: the creative collaborations between learning-disabled and non-learning-disabled artists which are increasingly taking place in performance and the visual arts. In Inclusive Arts Practice Alice Fox and Hannah Macpherson interview artists, curators and key practitioners in the UK and US. The authors introduce and articulate this new practice, and situate it in relation to associated approaches. Fox and Macpherson candidly describe the tensions and difficulties involved too, and explore how the work sits within contemporary art and critical theory. The book inhabits the philosophy of Inclusive Arts practice: with Jo Offer, Alice Fox and Kelvin Burke making up the design team behind the striking look of the book. The book also includes essays and illustrated statements, and has over 100 full-colour images. Inclusive Arts Practice represents a landmark publication in an emerging field of creative practice across all the arts. It presents a radical call for collaboration on equal terms and will be an invaluable resource for anyone studying, researching or already working within this dynamic new territory.
