Art Making

In this article, the author takes a post-anthropocentric (re)turn to matter and mattering, using art-making-as-inquiry to think-feel about the ways in which art and matter matters in end-of-life art therapy. Visual art-making and new materialist theories are entangled with(in) stories from clinical end-of-life art therapy practice, textually and texturally performing how it is to work with affect, vibrant matter, vulnerability, and death. It is based on a symposium presented by four researchers at the International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry in 2018 titled “Material Methods,” each mobilizing creative practices to think about death, and transformation.

Collective Biography

In this essay, I work with the stories and artwork generated by a small group of visual art therapists who came together in a collective biography workshop. All of the participants, including the author, specialize in end-of-life and palliative art therapy. As a collective, we worked to bring our experiences back to our bodies through stories, art-making, and writing, to explore how working with people in the last days, weeks, or months of their lives affects us. In this essay I ask: What happens when stories paint pictures, and when pictures paint stories, to make visible our experiences of death, vulnerability, and love—experiences that might otherwise have been impossible to know?

Visual Art

Konseling merupakan proses pemberian bantuan yang dapat digunakan dengan teknik bantuan seperti teknik kesenian. Hal ini dilakukan karena pada proses konseling, banyak konseli yang sulit untuk mengungkapkan atau mengekspresikan dirinya sendiri yang sedang berada di situasi yang buruk. Konseling seni ini dapat menjadi solusi pada permasalahan ini karena konseling seni memiliki berbagai macam kesenian yang dapat digunakan sebagai pencair suasana dan juga dorongan bagi konseli utuk terbuka pada konselor.Visual Art adalah salah satu jenis kesenian yang berupa gambar, atau simbol yang bisa dilihat langsung oleh individu. Contoh dari visual art sangat beragam dan pada setiap jenisnya, terdapat cara yang berbeda pula untuk mengintrepetasikannya kedalam bahasa yang dapat dimengerti. Oleh karena itu, saya akan membahas mengenai visual art in counseling secara lengkap.

Layanan bimbingan dan konseling merupakan layanan yang dapat diberikan kepada orang-orang yang membutuhkan bantuan atas permasalahan yang mereka alami. Di dalam memberikan konseling, konselor membutuhkan teknik-teknik tertentu yang harus terapeutik dan inovatif agar dapat diterapkan di dalam konseling yang mereka lakukan. Serta dapat membantu konseli di dalam mengatasi permasalahannya. Visual Art Therapy merupakan salah satu jenis teknik yang termasuk di dalam teknik-teknik expressive in counseling. Konseling yang menggunakan Visual Art Therapy dapat dilakukan pada konseli yang sulit mengungkapkan permasalahannya secara verbal akan tetapi dapat dengan mudah memvisualisasi permasalahannya melalui gambar, bentuk, atau lukisan. Untuk itu, konselor dapat membantu konseli yang kesulitan di dalam mengekspresikan diri melalui verbal, menggunakan Visual Art Therapy yang menggunakan visual/indera penglihatan dan karya yang dibuat. Jenis terapi ini dapat diberikan kepada seluruh rentang usia mulai dari anak-anak, remaja, orang dewasa maupun lansia. Dan juga, teori CBT sebagai sebuah teori yang berfokus untuk menangani permasalahan konseli dari pemikiran yang negatif menjadi positif. Teori ini menggunakan gabungan dari dua prinsip, yaitu prinsip kognitif dan tingkah laku. Untuk itu, teori ini sangat tepat untuk digunakan di dalam Visual Art Therapy yang memang dapat mendorong suatu kreativitas di dalam usaha pemecahan permasalahan yang terjadi tersebut.

International Congress

Five scholars, with varying histories together, met as writers at a workshop at the 2007 International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry and made a commitment to write over the following year to, for and with each other in an experiment in the craft of autoethnography, an experiment that led us to explore questions of intimacy and connection manifested through collaborative writing. Each year since then we have returned to Congress to read a small anthology of the year's writing—and to decide whether or not to continue. This paper is drawn from our third year of writing together across the changing distances, as our bodies moved and lay still in both unfamiliar and familiar spaces. Within castles and beside oceans, on pastures and in homes, at universities and hospitals, we wrote together, between and amongst our group of five, working, as always, it seems, at who and what we are becoming. The joy of our continuing writing presence in each others' lives, our pleasure and surprise at such friendship, earned through hard writing labor, is manifest alongside an awareness that there is always more to do. We turn and return to love and intimacy as scholarly, messy, complex methodology as we send writing to each other that we, in turn, pick up on—and sometimes do not—in our responses; writing that often affirms and sometimes disturbs.

Critical Reflexivity

A social justice approach to arts-based research, as presented in this article through examples from five different perspectives on what constitutes arts-based research, involves continual critical reflexivity in response to injustice. At the First International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry, I identified five distinctly different perspectives on what constitutes arts-based research. The variations seemed to emphasize contiguous relationships such as: arts-insight, arts-inquiry, arts-imagination, arts-embodiment, and arts-relationality. Starting from a study of arts-based research, I construct historical and theoretical traces to and from these five facets of a social justice approach to arts-based inquiry. My analysis offers potentialities for an intermingling of these five faces of arts-based research in the interest of social justice. The examples of arts-based research as social justice activism presented here are intended to inspire transdisciplinary researchers to imagine ways to conjoin arts-based processes, subjects, and forms with social justice enactments of research.
