This collection of seventeen essays and illustrations brings together artists and activists who share a passion for art as well as politics, community and social change. The contributors have created a wide variety of energetic and original artistic projects through which they explore the tensions between academic work, politics and activism. The essays are grouped into the four major themes of social empowerment and transformation, healing, activism and environmental awareness. The projects discussed include painting murals with youths at risk; producing theatre with new immigrants; creating art with immigrant women and children; storytelling and literacy; publishing immigrant women's stories and experiences; street performance as political resistance; and environmental installations.

Each essay demonstrates that a critical artistic vision crosses many boundaries to inspire not only our imaginations but also social and environmental movements.
