Behold the beautiful cover for The Relationship Is The Project!

The RITP cover - four books sml.PNG “We at Brow Books are so thrilled and honoured to be able to play a part in this whole undertaking,” the publisher announced this morning. “We are currently making a book that will match the quality and importance of the work on its pages.” Out in February 2020, this book is a vital new resource that aims to assist emerging practitioners, artists and cultural workers better engage with community-based projects.

Brow Books will publish The Relationship Is The Project in partnership with creative producer Jade Lillie as part of her 2017 Sidney Myer Creative Fellowship.

Co-edited with Kate Larsen, Cara Kirkwood and Jax Jacki Brown, the breadth of the advice shared in this non-academic, practitioner-led book includes insights into the ethics and logistics of working in community contexts from thought-leaders across the arts, cultural and community sectors.
