The Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy offers international perspectives on a wide range of issues in cultural management and cultural policy research and practice. This issue looks at resiliency in cultural management and policy from a variety of perspectives. Resiliency (or its exact synonym, resilience) refers to the ability to withstand difficulty, or to bounce back from chaos or trauma. In the cultural sector, the term often refers to both the resiliency of artists and other cultural workers to work and create despite the many pressures against them. It also encompasses the belief that the presence of art in human society makes both society and individuals more resilient.
