Calling the Spirits and Día de los Muertos: Finding Radical Healing and Critical Hope
Fri, April 22, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: North Tower, Ground Level, Pacific Ballroom 16Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss how through a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) project, youth found critical hope, which lent itself to radical healing/justice.By participating in the Día de los Muertos parade, youth were able to find a way to express their voices and channel their frustrations regarding extrajudicial killings of BIPOC youth. Through YPAR, youth find different paths to pursue social action. From conducting research to creating a mural to participating in a parade, these youth utilize their passion for social justice to enact social change.
