Swell, breach, absorb: How can participatory art use Asset-Based Community Development methodologies to catalyse more climate-resilient communities? 2016

Eleanor's thesis explores ways in which participatory art can use Asset-Based Community Development methodologies to catalyse more climate-resilient communities.

It concludes with a toolkit of recommendations for fellow participatory artists or community facilitators who are looking to work with communities around climate resilience.
