This book is a valuable resource for those engaged in ABR [art-based research], as it provides philosophical and theoretical conceptions to ground aspects of inquiry. . . . This is an important contribution that may help to foster the development of more rigorous and meaningful ABR in the future. The chapters that expand upon the ways ABR might inform learning and healing are essential contributions as they spark the imagination as to what might be possible if we were to embed arts inquiry in what McNiff (2018) mentioned were the 'mundane places accessible to all' (xiv). Finally, the book provides suggestions as to how art-based researchers might better sustain their work and offers insights into where the discipline might evolve. --Tawnya D.
