Understanding the Issue: Whose Culture is the Legacy Amendment Preserving?
01
Building Community Wealth: The Role of Arts and Culture in Equitable Economic Development
Since time immemorial, communities have been developing creative practices and culturally-specific traditions that are deeply intertwined with the way they produce, manage, exchange, and steward resources. What a society values, how it creates those valuable objects or practices, and who has access to them is indicative of a culture’s core beliefs. While it may be tempting to think of ‘the economy’ as a thing operating outside of anyone’s control, with its own rules and behaviors, we can look no further than our definitions of wealth, who has access to it, and how it is produced to understand who we are. Culture - and the creative practices that make it up, including the arts - has and will always be a critical way to understand an economy and work to shift it.
