“…Mapping Q is an arts-based suicide prevention program that was created in 2014 via a collaboration between a university-located art museum and a not-for-profit organization that serves SGM youth (Pegno & Farrar, 2017). Mapping Q's curriculum was developed to provide opportunities for SGM youth to investigate how language, symbols, and images displayed in institutions like art museums can communicate rigid expressions of gender and sexuality.…”

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) youth experience high levels of compromised mental health and suicidality compared to their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts. Yet, few empirically evaluated interventions to lessen or eliminate these disparities exist for SGM youth populations. The purpose of this study was to examine the preliminary effectiveness of an arts-based suicide prevention program, Mapping Q, for SGM youth living in a large city in the Southwestern United States. Participants included 20 SGM youth between the ages of 13-24 years old. Participants completed a pretest survey during the initial week of Mapping Q and a posttest in the final sessions (Weeks 8-10). Analyses revealed a significant decrease in thwarted belongingness and depressive symptoms from pre-to posttest. No significant differences emerged for perceived burdensomeness or anxiety symptoms from pre-to posttest; however, the effect size observed for perceived burdensomeness suggests that there may be a plausible reduction in this risk factor for suicidality with larger samples. These findings demonstrate the initial acceptability and effectiveness of Mapping Q in reducing significant risk factors of suicidality among SGM youth. Furthermore, these findings suggest that an arts-based suicide prevention program may be a promising intervention modality for reducing mental health disparities for SGM youth populations. Public Significance StatementThis study provides preliminary support for Mapping Q, an arts-based suicide prevention program for sexual and gender minority youth. The results indicated that engagement with Mapping Q was associated with reductions in depressive symptoms and thwarted belongingness.

“…The feasibility and acceptability of Mapping Q were not assessed in the current study. However, Mapping Q has been running annually since 2014 (Pegno & Farrar, 2017). Historically, approximately 20-56 participants have engaged and participated in the program's annual offering.…”

How participatory are we really? The pitfalls and potentials of participatory research practices

The development of participatory research practices has been linked to high hopes of creating more relevant, socially robust, and democratic forms of academic knowledge. Researchers have, however, also pointed to a discrepancy between the ideals and realities of participation, in research and elsewhere. This paper uses these critiques of participation to unfold the dilemmas of two participatory projects: RECcORD: Rethinking European Cultural Centers in a European Dimension (2015-17) and Participate: Citizen Participation in Danish Cultural Centers (2019-23). Both projects approached participation as a method that involved co-researching participants from cultural centers, and as a practice to be explored while unfolding in the centers. This paper critically discusses the methodologies of the projects by developing an evaluative framework that highlights both the participatory potentials and pitfalls of the two processes. This transferable framework is based on the concepts of ‘unpredictability’, ‘friction’, ‘autonomy’, ‘inequality’, ‘failure’, and ‘scale’.

“Never enough, never perfect”: Participatory activist practice in the museum

Recent outbursts of activist interventions in museums have put a spotlight on the difficult relationship of cultural spaces with activism as they aspire to be forums, sites for civil, social, and cultural participation (Black, 2005; Byrne, 2018; Janes & Sandell, 2019; Pegno, 2021). On the one hand, museums want to be engaged and relevant, taking part in social dialogue as “agents of change” (Mouffe, 2016; Sandell, 2003). On the other, they often have complex relationships with the activists themselves, especially in the framework of participatory practices (Coffee, 2008; Lorente, 2015). This article focuses on the process of co-creation of an exhibition about the social history of AIDS at the Museum of Civilizations of Europe and the Mediterranean (the Mucem) in Marseille, France, and explores how this participatory project involving activists can help us better understand the challenges of museum activism. The core question this article addresses is: how did activists experience the co-creation participatory process, and what can the museum learn from it to inform their practice of museum activism?
