As a multidisciplinary social work researcher, I have produced and published scholarly work in partnership with researchers in nursing, medicine, public health, and others.Texto e Contexto Enfermagem provides a great platform to establish the historic position of the arts in evidence-based nursing practice and research beyond the well-established concept of nursing as a combination of science and art -knowledge and skill 1,2 .As early as the 1990s, nursing research introduced art-based techniques and activities-photographs, drawings/posters or collages, and mapping techniques-aimed at improving health and well-being.More recently, nursing has advanced the field of "art in research" by showing, for example, how narrative competence can be used as a strategy for understanding the facts and narratives associated with human ("patient") existence 3 .Storytelling and narrative medicine have also surfaced as a strategy in nursing, medicine, and social work practices 4 .As a helping profession whose values include human dignity, nursing can, in partnership with allied professions, advance research on racism, perhaps the gravest threat to humanity and human health.Nursing has risen against racism.The recent spate of police murders of unarmed Black people and the racial disparities highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a wave of "anti-racism research" in the United States (U.S.) and around the world posing the question, What do we know about the root causes of racism and what can we do about them?Health professionals across the globe have committed to diminish racism and improve health.For example, in 2021, leading nursing organizations in the U.S. created the National Commission to Address Racism to examine and confront individual and systemic racism by focusing on its impact on nurses, patients, communities, and healthcare systems 5 .The scientific community has contributed conceptual and epidemiological knowledge about the negative impact of violence toward Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and inequities in both prevention and treatment of disease among BIPOC 6 .The sociological literature
