Abstract
Given the increased frequency and severity of extreme climate events such as bushfires, innovative approaches to support community resilience are urgently needed. Amongst the variety of ways that communities and service providers are responding to natural disasters, creative arts interventions represent an inclusive and effective approach to supporting community resilience. Analysing a case study from rural Queensland, Australia, this article delineates the features of arts and creativity that support resilience-building in communities. It identifies three transferrable principles and arts-based processes which may be embedded into future projects to support disaster-affected communities to creatively nurture and articulate resilience.
