Produktbeschreibung
Informed by social reconstruction, critical
pedagogy, and critical multiculturalism, this
research examines the ways in which collaborative art
production can assist a youth activist organization
in furthering its goals for individual and collective
empowerment. Enacting the roles of the community
artist/educator as facilitator and gatherer, two
arts-based projects were developed for and with
Filipino youth activists in Montreal as a way to
extend their community work into art activism. Embracing participatory action research as the
primary methodology, this research demonstrates that
collaborative art production, tied to the concerns
and values of an organization, allows its members to
identify and visually represent community problems,
connect personal experiences to larger group reality,
and envision alternatives for their community. I
reflect on my role as a cultural worker in this
process and finally, I discuss implications of this
research for community art education and community
organizing.
