This article seeks to trouble the art materials and practices that are often found in early childhood education (ECE) spaces. It situates its discussion of a children's art encounter within the worlds of neoliberal capitalism entangled with technocultures of whiteness. Certain bodies and subjectivities are produced through these systems, revealing how power adheres in local phenomena. For example, these systems circulate through art in the ECE classroom. The article presents new ways of mapping these complex political worlds. It is hoped that engaging and confronting ECE arts within these worlds will provide spaces, without any easy escapes or solutions, for educators to grapple with these complexities.

Drawing on the experience of the author and her colleagues, this article explores moving from a theme-based curriculum in early years settings to an inquiry-based approach. New possibilities for doing curriculum are described as educators challenge themselves to engage in processes of critical reflection, enact democratic principles, and adopt an inquiry as a focal point for discussion among children, colleagues, and families. The article shares examples of educators reimagining curriculum as they embrace both the flow and uncertainty of an inquiry.
