Description
Cultivate Practices That Care for the Soul of Our Culture
"Culture is not a territory to be won or lost but a resource we are called to steward with care. Culture is a garden to be cultivated."
We live in an era of cultural war and combativeness. But we all have a responsibility to care for culture, to nurture it in ways that help people thrive. In this second edition of Culture Care, internationally recognized artist Makoto Fujimura issues a call to cultural stewardship in which we become generative and feed our culture's soul with beauty, creativity, and generosity, serving others as cultural custodians of the future.
This is a book for anyone with a calling to create—from visual artists, musicians, writers, and actors to entrepreneurs, pastors, and business professionals—who wants to reach across boundaries with understanding, reconciliation, and healing. As creative catalysts, we can contribute to the shared culture that affects human thriving today and shapes the generations to come.
