This study demonstrates the possibility of co-creation that invites participants into the artistic process itself, fostering shared ownership of knowledge production and enabling new forms of storytelling that bridge artistic expression and lived experience. We explore the affordances of co-creating illustrated stories by centering the previously unshared stories of families forcibly displaced by war and systemic violence. We engaged in workshops to co-create visual stories which integrate their pre- and post-migration experiences with schooling, especially in the context of mathematics learning. The co-created illustration reflects the participants' desired ways of depicting gender and race, with nuanced depictions of their emotional journey, holding both the struggles and moments of joy. Extending art-based methods further, we discuss how the co-created stories could convey the participants' embodied experiences and their everyday acts of exercising agency to address power and inequity
