ABSTRACT

The conclusion: thanks the generous contributions of each of the women who took part in the creative conversations and suggests a framework for supporting creativity that the conversations, research and reflections in each chapter have informed. The authors suggest that the conversations in this book have inspired them to think about how their next creative project will need to combine creativity and activism to respond to the well-being and eco-crises currently confronting us here in the UK and beyond and argue that creativity can and must address issues of diversity and inclusion as a matter of urgency. They ask the reader to reflect on next steps and to set intention for a new project that values their existing skills and expertise, whilst opening up new conversations that will inspire new ways of being in their creative lives.
