Who we are
Creative Recovery Network is a not-for-profit organisation working to develop and embed the vital role of culture, creativity and the arts in Australia’s disaster management systems.
Our approach
Our approach is relational, people-centred and future focussed, underpinned by a framework of respect, engagement and self-determination.
More about what we do
What we do
The process of creative recovery is grounded in participatory, community-centered engagement, designed to work respectfully with communities to grow and connect through the disaster experience. We do this across three main platforms of work:
Who we work with
We collaborate with the creative sector – individual artists, arts workers, and arts organisations – to support the ongoing activation of creative programs in disaster preparedness, response and recovery
We work with the disaster management sector to enhance disaster management strategies through arts-based processes and advocate for their inclusion in all stages of disaster planning
We engage with community leaders and grassroots organisations to strengthen recovery capability through a whole-of-community approach
