Living Room: An Emergent Practice of Creative-Relational Health

This essay is an account of creating a learning encounter for other artists. We write our becoming together, finding our way to do justice both to the fluidity of (our) process and to the fluidity of processes of “making good practice” to creatively care for the health and wellbeing of artists in a context of precarity. Our “creative-relational” inquiry frames the learning encounter and co-exists in the planning-testing-doing process we used to design it and to create this essay. We explore how being well and making good practice as an artist in the world might be described as an emergent becoming—a creative-relational health.
