BEYOND CRISIS SEMINAR SERIES 2


INCLUSIVITY, AND NATURE: ECO ARTS-BASED PRACTICES AND THE ENVIRONMENT, HOSTED BY
BRUNEL UNIVERSITY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CNWL NHS TRUST

Published: 2023-12-07

“Arts-based psychosocial practices, including arts therapies, offer a unique
approach to working with health change. They enable us to connect with the
qualities of things, cultivating a deep awareness of our role within intricate
ecological assemblages. The arts unveil the inseparability of nature and
culture, revealing our place within a dynamic corporality. Eco-arts therapies,
viewed from this perspective, decentres human experience, reassembling the
boundaries between human and the non-human. This perspective challenges our
anthropocentric worldview, motioning us to engage with other lives, other times,
and other worlds. Embracing nature in this manner entails venturing into
unfamiliar places, broadening our consciousness, fostering compassion,
affection, and deepening our appreciation. However, such changes in action and
mindset are mobilised within complex contexts.” - Dominik Havsteen-Franklin


 


THE MEDICINE IN THE CIRCLE: A CASE EXAMPLE OF EMBODIED ARTS-BASED COMMUNITY
PRACTICE TO ADDRESS INTERGENERATIONAL TRAUMA IN RURAL SOUTH AFRICA

Published: 2024-12-07

This article shares extracts from an arts-based community model of mental
healthcare that works with family and social systems to develop collective
resilience and address intergenerational trauma in a culturally informed manner.
The practice is situated in an African philosophy of collectivism, where the
group is a resource and source of support. It invites arts therapists to engage
with psychological practices outside of an individualistic focus with a
practical approach to considering the ecosystem which influences health and
well-being. Theories such as embodiment and polyvagal theory, community and
collective resilience and intergenerational trauma are explored and translated
to practise with an example of implementation in a remote farming community in
the Western Cape of South Africa. The authors focus on practice elements derived
from Dramatherapy and Applied Drama, which highlights embodied practices as they
are applied to address intergenerational trauma and develop collective
resilience.

FAMILIES AND COLLECTIVE FUTURES

We are addressing intergenerational and complex trauma by building circles of
support around our children and youth. The mental health crisis that our society
is facing is a systemic issue, not an individual one, and it needs a collective
response. We advocate for a psychosocial approach to mental health that is
situated in an African cosmology and which is relevant and accessible to all
South Africans.

Families and Collective Futures is a resilience-focused, trauma-informed program
that applies the arts and creativity to build psychosocial support systems.
These systems are created through research, training and the implementation of
arts-based groups for children and their social circles.

Our ultimate impact goal is collective resilience, the ability to flock together
and the understanding that communities can be our greatest resources and sources
of psychosocial support.

Our logic model for this program is the result of extensive research done in
collaboration with Brunel University. The full, published research article can
be viewed below.

Families and Collective Futures Research Overview


BACKGROUND 

Our name is derived from two words that have different meanings in the Afrikaans
language. This word can either mean  ‘to play’ or it can mean ‘mirror’. Our logo
reflects the capacity of the arts to playfully transform any set concept, like
for example a word, into a symbol or metaphor which contains layered meanings.
The ‘i’ in sp(i)eel has been placed in brackets to symbolize the therapeutic
nature of our organisation. The therapeutic nature refers to always holding the
individual and his/her well-being at the core of our work.

To ‘play and mirror’ refers to the function of the arts as a mirror to society
for expression, reflection and understanding. It also speaks to the therapeutic
aspect of art therapies, where an art form is applied as a mirror to Self for
exploration and understanding. Furthermore, it is through the playful nature of
the arts that human beings connect with their innate creativity.

In South Africa,  access to therapeutic arts programmes is limited and not
accessible to everyone.  We aim to enable accessibility to the intentional use
of various art forms to further have a positive impact on general health,
well-being, development and transformation for all.


OUR VISION

To co-create community models of mental healthcare and wellbeing that impacts on
social change.


OUR MISSION

We collaborate with people and organizations to develop and implement arts-based
psychosocial and mental health programmes that addresses trauma and builds
collective resilience.
