A growing global convergence between the market and the public sector means that private sector values, priorities, and forms of work organization increasingly permeate social and community services. As challenges facing people and communities become more layered and complex, our means of responding become more time-bound and reductionist.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book is premised on the belief in the revitalizing power of arts-informed approaches to social justice work; it affirms and invites creative responses to personal, community, and political struggles and aspirations. The projects described in the book address themes of colonization, displacement and forced migration, sexual violence, ableism, and vicarious trauma. Each chapter shows how art can facilitate transformation: by supporting processes of conscientization and enabling re-storying of selves and identities; by contributing to community and cultural healing, sustainability and resilience; by helping us understand and challenge oppressive social relations; and by deepening experiences, images, and practices of care.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSocial Work Artfully: Beyond Borders and Boundaries\u003c\/i\u003e emerges from collaboration between researchers, educators, and practitioners in Canada and South Africa. It offers examples of arts-informed interventions that are attentive to diversity, attuned to various forms of personal and communal expression, and cognizant of contemporary economic and political conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSocial Work Artfully: Beyond Borders and Boundaries\u003c\/i\u003e, edited by Christina Sinding and Hazel Barnes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface and Acknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction  Christina Sinding and Hazel Barnes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.
