Creating community: an arts‑based enquiry

This article presents a small cooperative enquiry in a public health setting where six researchers used arts-based methods to explore our experiences of community and its effects. We represented our experiences in images and stories, and include these presentational forms of knowing here alongside the analyses that connect our findings to propositions about health, community and social inclusion. In terms of practical knowing, we sought a greater understanding of what forms, what constrains and what sustains community.
