Youthspaces as Places of Possibility: Art, Activism, and Collective Healing

• In Event: A Praxis of Possibilities: Creative and Critical Research for Social Justice With Young People

Abstract

This critical qualitative research took place in Vancouver, BC and focused on a group of young people learning to be activists in a youth-driven social justice organization, “Think Again” (TA). This paper aims to build a conceptual bridge for thinking about how youths’ meaning making practices are socioculturally situated in order to re/imagine alternative places of learning that might generate new possibilities of what and who they might be/come.
