\nMaking Art Work: A Labour Arts Manual<\/b><\/a>\u00a0takes a detailed look at creative collaborations involving artists and Labour Arts across Canada.<\/p>\n

Commissioned by the\u00a0Workers Arts and Heritage Centre<\/b>, and compiled by Hamilton-based artist Ingrid Mayrhofer, the manual is designed as a source of instruction and inspiration for artists and activists undertaking collaborative art projects specifically with labour communities. Making Art Work includes project descriptions, including a listing of materials, people, skills and time. It also contains stories and reflections on the processes, power dynamics and ideas surrounding the work. The manual also includes sample forms, questions to consider, and other interactive tools for planning a project and making it happen.<\/p>\n

From editor Ingrid Mayrhofer’s introduction:<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0At the centre of arts and\u00a0labour collaboration are shared struggles, common goals\u00a0and a spirit of solidarity. The compilation of examples in\u00a0this \u2018kit\u2019 is not intended to function as a list of \u2018models\u2019 or\u00a0\u2018best practices.\u2019 The projects simply offer a few ideas and\u00a0tools, and confirm that creative collaboration is mutually\u00a0educational, rewarding and empowering.\u00a0Each project featured as a \u2018case study\u2019 involved one or more professional artists working with participants\u00a0who brought many different skills, insights, experiences, issues and interests to the partnership. The\u00a0work plans and illustrations are informed by principles of community art practice, where the creative\u00a0process is considered equally important as the outcome, and collaboration is inherent to both process\u00a0and result….\u00a0\u00bb \u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
