The concept of community does not often arise in creativity research. Even sociocultural perspectives seldom analyze community as a separate dynamic within social and material systems. In everyday discussions, however, artists, educators, and activists often describe community as important to the contexts of their creative work. Tara J. Yosso has conducted groundbreaking research on the community cultural wealth cultivated in communities of color, constituted in traditions, social relations, artistic practices, and practical and historical knowledge. Although often unrecognized by the larger society (deficit thinking) such sources of wealth are key resources for creative work and the points of view that emerge through that work. This discussion between the editor of this book Michael Hanchett Hanson and Yosso explores some of the ways that the concepts of creativity, context, and community interact. Hanchett Hanson and Yosso discuss the generative functions of community wealth, community influences on views of value, the importance of history, difficulties in maintaining communities, reasons for colonialist suppression of communities, relations of communities to fields (art, music, science, etc.) and local creative ecosystems, and communities themselves as creative works.
