Art, creation and health. What is health and how are we talking about heatlh in relation to creative processes? Can we read responses from arts in the body and in the body of our society? Art experiences can increase the ability to regulate emotions, influence stress, create security and flow, but what happens to social, emotional and aesthetic values if art is lost? What society do we want to create? Embodied knowledge from different reseach reports will be the focus in this presentation. Reflections on pros and cons are an important part of how we backcast our future use of the arts.
