Regardless of field, from the art world to healthcare delivery, there
is a growing need for practically useful theory and theoretically
informed practice. The time is ripe for a collaborative, creative
conversation among thinkers and doers who are concerned about the
larger world and our role in it. Making Sense: Beauty, Creativity, and
Healing is a collection of essays and creative expressions written and
produced in relation to a colloquium that tried to address these
matters at the Whitney Humanities Center of Yale University. Beginning
with a powerful essay on the individually and globally therapeutic
qualities of art and beauty by Elaine Scarry of Harvard University,
this volume brings together a diversity of theoretically minded
scholars, scientists, artists, and healers. In the form of critical
and reflective essays, alongside images, poetry, and fiction, this
book allows the reader to experience the bursts of ideas and sensory
triggers that respond to and extend the artistic installations and
performances of the colloquium – and welcomes the reader into the
conversation.
