For millennia, Indigenous cultures have prioritized joy-based artistic practices—and science is finally catching up. Numerous studies now show that art and joy go hand in hand.

Abstract/Description

For millennia, Indigenous cultures have prioritized joy-based artistic practices—and science is finally catching up. Studies now show that art and joy go hand in hand; creative expression passed down from generation to generation in forms of dance, songs, stories, poems, and visual arts reinforces collective joy, cohesion, and well-being for the practitioners. Art is so deeply woven into humanity that it is difficult to find any culture devoid of art form. So what happens when people are denied artistic expression?
