Community-engaged practice is not an art form. It’ s not an add-on. It’ s a way of working: a deep collaboration. The Relationship is the Project features provocations, tools and practical tips for those who are currently, or are interested in, working with communities. This includes the ethics and logistics of working on community-based projects and contexts: from cultural safety to class, intersectionality to disaster recovery, climate justice to First Nations reworlding and more. This updated and expanded edition features more than 40 thought-leaders across the arts, cultural and community sectors. It is a must-have resource for all community-engaged practice.
