ImaginingOtherwise is a cross disciplinary collaboration grounded in artistic practice, activism and youth-led social change. Located in Cape Town, South Africa, this is a year-long project of engagement with the arts for young people from the Cape Flats and from migrant backgrounds based in other areas of the city. The project asks how young people make sense of race and spatial inequalities. We aim to reflect on the role of creativity in the context of violence and economic and developmental dispossession, asking: How does using the arts for social change produce educational and activist alternatives? We consider how dialogic creative arts generates a theory and practice of social change by, with, and for peripheralized young people in the city. In this collaborative text, we draw out the key social justice concerns faced by young people in South Africa, setting them against the learning from our arts-based project. Moving beyond the framing of the context of race, violence and dispossession, we explore how these critical ideas move towards a useful set of tools for arts education. We do this in the format of a glossary; which we see as building a methodology of participation in the arts as radical possibility--and invitation towards ImaginingOtherwise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
