'This article reports on the leadership aspects of the community creative arts based
Resurfacing Stronger project, which was mounted in response to the recent flood crisis
in Queensland, Australia, and involved the participation of a regional university. The
project combines creative writing workshops and the publication of community writing
with a study of contemporary community writing in Central Queensland. These
various components are focused on gaining an understanding of the social dimensions
of flood preparedness and response through creative writing as both action and
product, as well as conducting a pilot study of contemporary community writing in the
Central Queensland region. This article demonstrates the capacity of the university to
lead communities towards resilience through creative arts activities, in this case,
through leading community members in writing narratives of their individual
relationships to localised places in times of crisis—what nature writer Barry Lopez has
referred to as 'storied relationship[s] to a place' (1997).' (Author's abstract)
