I am a social practice artist based in Bristol in the UK.
In 2020 I was a part of an 'Artists Make Change' group looking at the importance and challenges of artists in relation to the economic doughnut. The main premise was the importance of Art, Culture and Creativity as a social foundation and its power in developing ideas, thoughts, behaviour changes and so much more.
From this research many notes were collected.  I like visual outcomes so one of my lockdown projects was producing a graphic that encompassed much of what we discussed in an open way that could inspire thought in others.  Commonly known as the Art Doughnut it is a large complex graphic and so is not very screen friendly.  However you can view it here and fall in on a word/phrase or 2 that you will hopefully find motivating.
I am now working with Dr Cara Courage to try and extend the ethos of the Art Doughnut so if you have any ideas please do get in touch.  We are especially interested in developing a web friendly version ( probably an animation), so any funding ideas for this would be very welcome.
If you would like to see a bit more about Social Art Projects you can visit a notebook website that I put together while researching projects in the USA.  Besides links to projects there are many interesting articles on the blog.  This was one successful and uplifting project I visited.
