In Finding Voice, Kim Berman demonstrates how she was able to use
visual arts training in disenfranchised communities as a tool for
political and social transformation in South Africa. Using her own
fieldwork as a case study, Berman shows how hands-on work in the
arts with learners of all ages and backgrounds can contribute to
economic stability by developing new skills, as well as enhancing
public health and gender justice within communities. Berman's work,
and the community artwork her book documents, present the visual
arts as a crucial channel for citizens to find their individual
voices and to become agents for change in the arenas of human
rights and democracy.
