Black Artists Creating a Culture of Health through Arts-in-Health Collaborations
Ethnomusicologist Dr. Rebekah E. Moore and arts activist Aziza Robinson-Goodnight’s research explores how involving Black artists in public health initiatives can mitigate racialized health disparities in intensely segregated cities. To scale their pilot study to a citywide intervention, they need policy partners in public health and arts and culture. With C2C Seed Funding, they will establish research partnerships bridging the missions of a public health commission, which tracks health outcomes data and sets health equity priorities, and office of arts and culture, which coordinates grant opportunities and sets arts equity priorities, to mobilize policy advocacy for future arts-based public health research and interventions.
