“…In Re•Vision's first six years, we have run close to 100 storytelling workshops across Canada for diverse projects involving people with disabilities and health‐care providers on changing conceptions of disability in health care (Rice, Chandler, and Changfoot ; Rice and Mündel forthcoming; Rice et al. , , ); racialized and nonracialized youth with mental health issues, police, and mental health workers on system responses to youth with mental health issues (Ferrari, Rice, and McKenzie ); Indigenous and non‐Indigenous students, teachers, and parents on what is needed to decolonize public schools (Rice et al. ); with academics on the values underpinning, and their relationship to, their research programs (Rice et al.…”

“…Building on and apart from Brushwood Rose's psychoanalytic analysis of self‐narratives, we approach storywork from a feminist posthumanist processual perspective (Braidotti ; Rice et al. ). This view understands story‐making as potent not (only or primarily) for unearthing that which we did not previously know about ourselves (the orientation of psychoanalysis and psychology generally), but for bringing into being that which we might be coming to express and understand about our subjectivities and social identities through our ongoing encounters with the world.…”

In this essay, we discuss multimedia story-making methodologies developed through Re•Vision: The Centre for Art and Social Justice that investigates the power of the arts, especially story, to positively influence decision makers in diverse sectors. Our story-making methodology brings together majority and minoritized creators to represent previously unattended experiences (e.g., around mind-body differences, queer sexuality, urban Indigenous identity, and Inuit cultural voice) with an aim to building understanding and shifting policies/practices that create barriers to social inclusion and justice. We analyze our ongoing efforts to rework our storytelling methodology, spotlighting acts of revising carried out by facilitators and researchers as they/we redefine methodological terms for each storytelling context, by researcher-storytellers as they/we rework material from our lives, and by receivers of the stories as we revise our assumptions about particular embodied histories and how they are defined within dominant cultural narratives and institutional structures. This methodology, we argue, contributes to the existing qualitative lexicon by providing innovative new approaches not only for chronicling marginalized/misrepresented experiences and critically researching selves, but also for scaffolding intersectional alliances and for imagining more just futures.

This article explores twelve short narrative films created by women and trans people living with disabilities and embodied differences. Produced through Project Re•Vision, these micro documentaries uncover the cultures and temporalities of bodies of difference by foregrounding themes of multiple histories: body, disability, maternal, medical, and/or scientific histories; and divergent futurities: contradictory, surprising, unpredictable, opaque, and/or generative futures. We engage with Alison Kafer's call to theorize disability futurity by wrestling with the ways in which "the future" is normatively deployed in the service of able-bodiedness and able-mindedness (Kafer 2013), a deployment used to render bodies of difference as sites of "no future" (Edelman 2004). By re-storying embodied difference, the storytellers illuminate ongoing processes of remaking their bodily selves in ways that respond to the past and provide possibilities for different futures; these orientations may be configured as "dis-topias" based not on progress, but on new pathways for living, uncovered not through evoking the familiar imaginaries of curing, eliminating, or overcoming disability, but through incorporating experiences of embodied difference into time. These temporalities gesture toward new kinds of futures, giving us glimpses of ways of cripping time, of cripping ways of being/ becoming in time, and of radically re-presencing disability in futurity.To watch the stories presented in our article, go to http://projectrevision.ca/videos/.

Ranci ere is speaking back to the argument that aesthetics is pure and purely about satiation of the senses by positioning art as possessing the potential to become political. For Ranci ere, art, like politics, centers on ways of reconfiguring the world. When art reveals ontological reconfigurations, disrupting the

“…By making their own self-reflexive films, researchers themselves became research participants and some also identified as members of Disability Arts communities beyond Re•Vision. As Re•Vision's work progressed, an emphasis on Disability Arts-and on incubating Disability Arts community-emerged (Chandler, Rice, Changfoot, LaMarre, Mykitiuk & Mundel, forthcoming;Rice, Chandler, Liddiard, Rinaldi, & Harrison, 2016).…”

The use of multimedia story making and drama based narrative in disability health research raises conventional ethical issues of informed consent, anonymity and confidentiality. In this chapter we explore unique ethical issues that arise when working with non-normatively embodied research participants in a highly collaborative way, using arts based mediums that transgress boundaries of anonymity and privacy, and call for difference-tailored processes of consent. People with disabilities have long been the object of medical and health research and the subjects of biomedical ethical transgressions, giving rise to the need for stricter human subject protocols about consent, confidentiality and anonymity. However, recent research collaborations with people with disabilities, where the participant's role as research subject and artist become blurred present an opportunity to investigate the specificity of embodied ethical issues. Embedded in institutional histories in which disabled bodies have been put on display or hidden away, ethical conundrums arise in the context of doing arts based research with people with disabilities where anonymity and confidentiality may not be desired by research participants and where contingent processes of consent (in which participants co-determine the timeframe, space, and audience for their art) may be greatly preferred. These are some of the ethical issues and practices arising out of our research with Re•Vision, a research centre for art and social justice, that uses the power of arts based methods to dismantle stereotypical understandings of disability and difference that create barriers to healthcare. Through Re•Vision's critical and participatory arts research processes, disability-identified and non-disabled researchers working to re-story disability and difference have come to be alive to the ethical conditions under which research participants/collaborators/artists wish to be identified and heard; with whom and under what conditions they are prepared to create and tell their stories; and how the curation of digital stories and narrative based drama gives rise to an ethics of voice and bearing witness.
