Blak women’s healing: Cocreating decolonial praxis through research yarns
Community arts for critical community psychology praxis
This chapter describes community arts practice as decolonial aesthetics that can foster cultural strengthening, as well as counter storytelling for transformative witnessing to develop empathy. The first project is a testimonio of the creative work of Wemba Wemba Gundijmara artist Paola Balla who produced “healing cloths” to capture everyday acts of survival as part of the process of documenting matriarchy, resistance and Aboriginal Healing. The …

Decolonising Applied Social Psychology: Culture, Indigeneity and Coloniality
Amplifying the Voices of Indigenous Elders through Community Arts and Narrative Inquiry: Stories of Oppression, Psychosocial Suffering, and Survival
In this article, we discuss research undertaken alongside a community arts and cultural development project that sought to support Aboriginal people in Western Australian to create an archive of their stories for current and future generations; stories that could serve as resources for healing, reclamation, and for examining a painful and unjust past. Narrative approaches have been promoted in community psychology to advance empowerment research …
Community arts as public pedagogy: Disruptions into public memory through Aboriginal counter-storytelling
Community Arts and Cultural Development (CACD) is a form of public pedagogy that seeks to intervene into the reproduction of meaning in public spaces. In this article, we explore the Bush Babies and Elders portrait project that sought to contribute to the empowerment of Aboriginal participants through counter-storytelling. Drawing on interview and survey data collected as part of a larger qualitative study, we examine Aboriginal participant's ref…
Picturing the Wheatbelt: Exploring and Expressing Place Identity Through Photography
Community arts and cultural development is a process that builds on and responds to the aspirations and needs of communities through creative means. It is participatory and inclusive, and uses multiple modes of representation to produce local knowledge. ‘Voices’ used photography and photo elicitation as the medium for exploring and expressing sense of place among Aboriginal and non‐Indigenous children, young people and adults in four rural towns.…
Responding to Racialization Through Arts Practice: The Case of Participatory Theater
This article describes two participatory theater projects undertaken by Western Edge Youth Arts in Melbourne and aimed at challenging racialization and fostering belonging among culturally diverse young people. Drawing from interview and archival data, we suggest that participatory theater provided the young people the opportunity to share and reflect on their lived experiences and re-present themselves, as well as gain resources for responding t…
Negotiating belonging in Australia through storytelling and encounter
From 2010 to 2012 a diverse group of young people participated in an oral history theatre project, Chronicles, which aimed to support them to claim a personally meaningful Australian identity. Oral history theatre was used to facilitate a process whereby the young people were able to reconnect with their personal family histories, encounter Aboriginal young people and stories, and together interview Aboriginal Elders. Through this process, they c…
Community Cultural Development for Social Change: Developing Critical Praxis
A growing number of writers in community psychology have called for re-claiming the radical impetus that inspired the development of the field. In this article we describe a program of work facilitated by a community cultural development agency that uses community arts practice to create, promote and improve opportunities for participation, network development, and empowerment in rural Western Australian communities. The program of work we descri…
Developing Praxis: Mobilising Critical Race Theory in Community Cultural Development
Race remains a significant issue in the lives of many people in Australia. For example, Indigenous Australians lives continue to be marked by social and economic disadvantage and everyday experiences of exclusion. Within this context, the Community Arts Network Western Australia promote social change and the empowerment of Indigenous groups through community cultural development. With an emphasis on community strengths and resources, community ar…
Explicating race privilege: Examining symbolic barriers to Aboriginal and non-indigenous partnership
Processes of racialisation and patterns of privilege continue to structure relations between Aboriginal and non-Indigenous Australia. This study explored the everyday ways race is reinscribed and unequal relations of power expressed, constituted and legitimised in a context marked by a history of oppressive colonisation. Conceptualising barriers to partnership as ideologically reproduced through discourse, critical discourse analysis was utilised…
