Care Aesthetics and the ArtsAuthor(s): Kate Maguire-Rosier, Rka Polonyi, James Thompson\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032870939, 978-1032870939\nSynopsis\nWhat would happen if we were to understand arts projects through their capacity to care? Care Aesthetics and the Arts offers an exploration of care aesthetics applied to arts projects from diverse contexts.\n\nThis collection examines the emerging field of care aesthetics applied to a range of arts practices and projects. Divided thematically into five sections, each chapter examines a range of arts practices or projects through the lens of care aesthetics, exploring how they can be understood and critiqued through this frame. This book surveys the foundations for an artistic exploration of care, discusses arts initiatives for sustaining, repairing, and holding space for everyday care, and expands conversations into the ambiguities and contradictions in both.
