When Was Arts in Health?

The book offers a critical analysis of the Arts in Health sector, particularly in the context of recent public health challenges and cultural conflicts. It introduces the concept of "creative health," established in Britain in 2017, and juxtaposes it with issues like austerity and inequality. Through genealogical methods, the author explores the origins and narratives of Arts in Health as a global phenomenon, arguing that its practices are influenced by local contexts and political economies rather than being universally applicable.
