We're re-releasing a wonderful episode about the positive impact art has on individual and societal health. Guest Deborah Cullinan, vice president for the arts at Stanford, shares how including just 10-20 minutes of art in your day — whether through drawing or dancing to your favorite song — can contribute to improved health.

On this week's episode of "Sights & Sounds," Stanford University's vice president for the arts Deborah Cullinan gives her arts and culture suggestions happening in the Bay Area.
Deborah Cullinan's job is to integrate arts of every form across campus. She says art has the power to heal and may be the answer to many of our present-day societal problems, such as growing political polarization and social isolation borne by the pandemic. Art advances equity, improves health, and enhances well-being for all, she says. Everyone should see themselves as artists—engineers, physicians, political scientists alike. "We all want to have creative lives," Cullinan tells host Russ Altman in this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

Squarepeg is a podcast in which neurodivergent women, and trans and nonbinary people, explore navigating a neurotypical world and share their insights, challenges and successes. My guest today was diagnosed autistic about 10 years ago. She is a psychotherapist in her early 60s, working in a busy CAMHS clinic (that’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) in Hertfordshire in the UK. She started her career as an artist and art teacher, before retraining and qualifying in Psychoanalytic Child Therapy in 1992, a very different time in terms of mental health. She has gone on to create a role for herself as an autism specialist in CAMHS. Today I’m delighted to share my conversation with Deborah Cullinan. In our conversation we talk about: ➡ Her experience of psychoanalytic therapy ➡ Growing up in a dysfunctional (and possibly autistic) family ➡ How autistic people are accommodated in schools and workplaces ➡ How autism is viewed by psychotherapists and psychologists - and how attitudes have changed in the last 30 years ➡ Her hopes for autistic young people now and in the future. I hope that these conversations will be inspiring and thought provoking, open you up to new ways of thinking about being neurodivergent, and help you feel more connected to a worldwide community of people with similar experiences. I’m Amy Richards, and after being diagnosed autistic at the age of 37 I’m now on a mission to learn more about different perspectives and issues around being a neurodivergent adult in a world that feels like it doesn’t quite fit.

Deborah Cullinan, CEO, Yerba Buena Centre for the Arts, San Fransisco, USA Yerba Buena Center for the Arts’ “prototyping places for people” initiative addresses the growing issues of disconnection and lack of empathy among the diverse people of San Francisco. In the midst of rapid change, the city’s local media headlines are dominated by battles over public and private space, and questions of whom the city, or any given neighborhood, really belongs to. Traditional urban planning processes have had limited, if any, community input. But YBCA believes that citizens deserve a voice in the transformation unfolding in their streets. Through an unprecedented partnership with the San Francisco Planning Department, YBCA has launched an open source model that puts the people of the city at the center of, and profoundly influencing, how things grow and shift. They began on Market Street; a major thoroughfare that spans several neighborhoods in the midst of dramatic change. The Market Street Prototyping Festival asked citizens to submit their ideas for making Market Street a more welcoming, inspiring destination for the diverse people that live and work along it’s path. An open call yielded hundreds of submissions, and 50 ideas were selected to become temporary design installations (“prototypes”). Over three days in April, almost one million people visited these installations along Market Street, and it brought connectivity, empathy and inspiration to the city’s streets. This was the first iteration of what will become an annual endeavor, leading up to and beyond the planned redesign of Market Street in 2018. Over the next two years, YBCA will incubate 100 open-sourced ideas for activating public space, while tackling big questions like: can citizen-driven change achieve equity? Moving forward, the “prototyping places for people” work will grow in new directions and neighborhoods based on learnings. Presented at MuseumNext Dublin.

Can a major art institution lead a city in the exploration of its most urgent economic and community development questions? If you talk to Deborah Cullinan, executive director of San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the answer you get is a resounding "yes." Deborah is using the contemporary arts center she leads to shape San Francisco's future. And it's not the first time Deborah has used her role as arts leader to change a community. She previously served as executive director of Intersection for the Arts, an arts-focused community development organization committed to radical partnership across sectors to achieve equitable community change. Intersection played a lead role on the 5M Project, a four-acre prototype for the next generation of urban development, in downtown San Francisco's Tenderloin District.
