Art schools in our universities play a big role in many ways and not
only within the institutions they are situated in. When considering
that the act of engaging in arts and culture has a demonstrable but
indirect effect on innovation, welfare, social cohesion,
entrepreneurship, local identity and the knowledge economy, our
universities can and do use arts to make themselves more permeable and
to provide co-created spaces of learning. This book is a timely
exploration of where creative practices and arts live in our higher
education communities? How do creatives shape this creative education
ecosystem? How does art provide an interface between what is within
and outside of our knowledge institutions? And why should all of this
matter for our communities, for the economy and for our society,
specifically in a post pandemic recovery. Carola Boehm explores the
delightful ways that art finds itself in every corner of academia,
exploring questions of where art lives in the university sector and
how it interacts with the outside, interfacing with the communities
beyond its boundaries, and how it got where it is today. And with all
that comes the advocacy of providing a strong justification that we
need creative provisions in our universities, as there are few more
powerful tools left to our disposal that can glue together and heal
our divided society and our fragmented humanity.
