Description: This talk will detail an overview of the work of the ReVision Centre in generating and mobilizing critical theory and creative methodologies for liberatory ends. Motivated by the question of how we create a world where difference is not only tolerated but welcomed as critical to the story of humanity, we interrogate the possibilities and problematics of affirmative approaches that seek to disrupt normative standards and systemic inequities.
The workshop will introduce Re Vision’s new on-line storymaking site, revisionstorymaking.ca. We offer a conceptional overview of Revision’s storymaking methodology and engage partipants in hands-on storymaking activities. Through play, participants have opportunity to investigate the power of the arts, and especially story, to open up conversations about systemic (rather than individualized) injustices in health care, education, the arts and other sectors.
