The 14th international ECArTE conference is a chance to engage in a critical and aesthetic examination of such questions, prompting a re-evaluation of techniques, established orders, theories, philosophies and approaches to education. How do the arts and arts therapies respond to this shattering, to a zeitgeist of shifting sands and boundary crossing? How do they offer a mirror to culture and its emerging concerns, prompting fresh and radical perspectives in both clinical work and educational practice? The arts therapies draw on tradition, but must also recognise the diversity of contemporary cultural practices and beliefs. This gathering will be a place to share new articulations of how arts therapies engage with the emergent concerns of the times in which we live.
