This contribution to The Making Effect Speaker Series features Marg Coutts and Nancy Sposato of Blackbird Creative Recovery. Marg is a visual artist who engages in creative art therapy and Nancy a multidisciplinary artist from a performing arts background. They reflect on a series of bushfire recovery workshops in The Nambucca Valley and how they developed a framework to engage people who may be reluctant to engage in art practices. Their workshops sought to make a creative poetic space for participants to aid in the recovery process.
