Artmaking, when used as a form of pedagogy and approached in a socially‐conscious manner, has the potential to promote agency and create a democratic learning environment for students. This study examines one such project, "The Council," created by artist Adelita Husni‐Bey in collaboration with former Teen Program attendees of the Museum of Modern Art. The Council is a collection of large‐scale photographs created from a series of workshops in which 13 young adults imagined themselves reshaping the museum's societal role after a major global crisis. The final photographs were exhibited in the museum's main galleries, representing a participatory, socially‐engaged artwork produced from a pedagogical process. While there is a prevalence of these types of pedagogy‐based artworks, contemporary art literature tends to focus mainly on the artist, disregarding the participants. Therefore, from the stance of an art educator, I examined the learning experiences of the participants as well as the pedagogical framework of the artist. The reviews from the participants were overwhelmingly positive, with many noting a significant increase in their confidence and a greater sense of agency. A liberating experience of collaboration was also stated as a common experience. These outcomes were attributed to the artist's innovative use of multimodal learning and effective facilitation grounded in Francesc Ferrer's philosophy of anarcho‐collectivism and integral education, as well as critical pedagogy. This study suggests that creative methodologies can significantly enhance intrinsically motivated learning and emphasises the importance of nurturing the next generation as they envision a more equitable and just society.

“…An embodied sense of worth started to emerge from these moments – the physical engagement with our faces, our hands and our feet was deeply subjective and personal (MacGill 2019; Matthews 2019) but simultaneously objective in that we were all sharing the moment. Garrett & MacGill refer to such practice as ‘creative and body‐based learning’ (Garrett & MacGill 2021: 1222) and emphasise the importance of physicality as a vehicle for human understanding. We followed lines that our fingers found in the contours and lines of our faces and drew what we felt physically and emotionally (Nguyen & Larson 2015), gifting back to ourselves a haptic sense of care, respect and well‐being (MacGill 2019).…”

Lifting Stress from the Day: A Women's Well‐Being Online Community Art Project

This article tells the story of a university community engagement project that began in the late spring of 2020 when the world went into lockdown. Increased concern over women's welfare and well‐being was brought into question in relation to those who are vulnerable with complex needs and had suffered societal‐induced hardships. In conjunction with an innovative women's community project, this study considered the value of art‐based online support as a platform from which to offer a non‐judgemental and mindful space with a focus on identity and empowerment. The study is based on weekly art drop‐in online workshops for vulnerable women and considers the value of hybrid ‘spaces’ as a pedagogical and practical model of communicative support and collective care. Findings from this community‐engaged project highlight the responses and shifts within subjectivities through situated art experiences. As art educators, it offers us an understanding of the potential for cumulative and affective artmaking to build communities of care as an inclusive and emancipatory learning tool.

“…The pedagogical practices in the arts include creative exploration, inquiry based learning, drama based instruction, studio pedagogy and design thinking that lead towards divergent outcomes. Arts dispositions are produced through co-designed curriculum, art pedagogy, and embodied strategies (Dinham, 2020;Garrett & MacGill, 2019). The arts are well-suited for the integration of the CCPs, and there are some outstanding ways in which this is done in schools.…”
