“Nine ways to reflect on how art can contribute to sustainability transformations” Dr. Joost Vervoort
“The 9 Dimensions tool creates a shared language between creators, funders and researchers. It is designed to recognize and reflect on the multidimensional richness of creative practice and what it can do to create a more sustainable world. To do this, the research supporting the tool combines insights from transformations research, sociology, psychology, anthropology, science and technology studies, theory of change research and media studies.
The 9 dimensions are organised in three categories:
- Changing meanings includes embodying, learning and imagining
- Changing connections includes caring, organizing and inspiring
- Changing power includes co-creating, empowering and subverting
