Abstract

Varieties of Imagination, Creativity, and Wellbeing in Australia—a project and an ebook—which brings together First Nations, migrant, and settler artists/writers/musicians, as well as people interested in the history of imagination (in whatever tradition) and those interested in creativity and disability, to explore what creativity, imagination and wellbeing might mean in different Australian traditions and contexts. The book attempts to re-envision these phenomena in a way that respects their multiplicity in contemporary Australia, across about 450 pages of essays, critiques, visual artworks, photography, poetry, and much more.
