Feminism, Adult Education and Creative Possibility

This book is a brilliant tapestry of courage, hope, and radical feminist imagination, visualizing change while dispelling invisibility and silence. Whilst deeply urgent and brimming over with important insights of decolonisation, it is also diverse in mediums and genre, reflecting an attempt of the feminist imaginary to be inclusive and bold. --Carole Roy, Professor, Dept. of Adult Education, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada This inspiring and wide-ranging text illustrates how care, love, hope, and relationality informed a diverse collection of feminist, intersectional, imaginative aesthetic projects. Readers will learn how photography, autobiography, storytelling, curation, witnessing, mapping, and writing love letters among others both illuminated and subverted the mechanics of multiple forms of gender injustice. --Shauna Butterwick, Professor Emeritus, Educational Studies, University of British Columbia, Canada This is an important and highly distinctive collection of work. It brings together, for the first time, a range of outstanding material in feminist aesthetic adult education. It is extraordinarily diverse and inclusive with respect to the voices heard and the aesthetic methods discussed. The edition offers new insights and inspiration for adult educators everywhere. --Christine Jarvis, Professor Emerita of Adult Education, University of Huddersfield, UK This fascinating text speaks to us in formerly silenced voices in imaginative and creative ways, disrupting dominant narratives of oppression by calling attention to them in artful ways. Art installation, photographic representation, theatre, fiction and other art forms are explored, exemplifying the endless possibilities of art to provoke conscious action. --Randee Lipson Lawrence, National Louis University (Emeritus), USA
