Collaboration is…
… an art form, a dance, a reminder that only change and challenge are certain. No magic set point, no auto pilot button. Collaborators are the tailors who choose the fabric, sew the seams, mend and repair. They are the plumbers and pipe fitters who measure and manage the flow of energy and movement. Collaboration is what I continue to learn and experience. Collaboration creates capacity.
CONTOUR
The shape and texture of a map. The intersections of co-creation, communication theory, and advocacy. On the street, in classrooms, with artists and collaborators. Years of sketches and notes from courses, conferences. The words and work of others. Workshop agendas and project resources. Creative community development and awareness. Lessons, leanings, and learnings.
Out of my head, onto the page.
This published book re-searches my community arts practices over 20+ years. All the lessons, leanings, and learnings here are designed to start conversations.

Art is the great leveler.
It is the secret in the sauce. It surprises. It tells the truth.
It challenges. It expects. Its process is valid and valuable. On the street, in the gallery, in the studio, in the boardroom. It finds a path. It saves.
