SaludArte: Building Health Equity on the Bedrock of Traditional Arts and Culture
SaludArte is a reflection of nearly a decade of work in Boyle Heights as a part of the California Endowment’s Building Healthy Communities (BHC) initiative. The publication explores what can happen when traditional artists engage cultural practices toward collective responses to a community’s social and political needs. SaludArte is available both in English and Spanish and includes an inventory of tools for carrying out this work in a number of community-based contexts.
