Part of the seminar series, 'The Spaces Between: Equity, Voice, Agency and Care Practices Involving the Arts and Arts Therapies' Growing evidence has identified multiple benefits of arts and creative practices for health and well-being. These offer significant scope for behavioural change interventions and patient activation and empowerment. However, in Latin America, essential gaps in basic knowledge and awareness reduced the potential positive impact of arts on brain health. Based on the expertise of the Global Brain Health Institute at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland and the Latin American Brain Health Institute at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, Chile, we have created the Creative and Arts Intervention Network Latin America. This network aims to support projects and online communities promoting the use of art to improve brain health and create support for vulnerable communities.

One of the most striking developments in Latin American societies since the 1990s has been the newfound visibility of Indigenous peoples. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the plurinational Andean state of Bolivia, which in 2006 saw the election of its first Indigenous president, Evo Morales. Throughout the twentieth century, Bolivia experienced rebellions from an array of social groups which sought to negotiate and at times, radically contest the (post)colonial underpinnings of the nation state. This seminar will invite attendees to reflect upon the historical, ecological and epistemological significance of Indigenous movements in Bolivia.
