ART vs REHAB launches free Critical Tool Kits
ART vs REHAB is a platform for those working creatively within addiction, the criminal justice system, homelessness and mental health. It is a catalyst for criticality and change, based on the principles of open innovation and collaborative practice. Conceived by artist and researcher, Hannah Hull, the initiative aims to strengthen the relationship between art and rehabilitation.
Over 100 artists, academics, service users, commissioners and funders have collaborated to produce six FREE Critical Tool Kits to support development in the field. Each Tool Kit is a playful and versatile collection of tasks and resources for creative practitioners.
Illustrated by Jo Buchan, each Kit addresses a different key theme affecting socially-engaged art practice - including reclaiming evaluation, the affect art institutions have on commissioning, and maintaining creative autonomy for artists and participants.
This initiative is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, and by TCCE [The Culture Capital Exchange], ICCE [Institute of Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship, Goldsmiths] and C4CC [The Centre for Creative Collaboration].
ART vs REHAB is led by the artist Hannah Hull.
