With the help of videographer and filmmaker Andrea Dorfman from Halifax, we have produced a video for people who would like to know what \u201ccommunity arts\u201d \u201ccommunity-engaged arts\u201d &amp; \u201carts for social change\u201d are about.<\/p>\n<p>During the videomaking process we\u2019ve unfortunately had to cut a lot of great contributions from the video, but we still want these voices to be heard!
