| Résumé: | In this paper, Baljit Kaur and Effie Makepeace reflect on the creative methods, both theatre and music used in their participatory research projects conducted in East London and Malawi, respectively. The authors discuss the possibilities and ways in which co-production with participants, underpinned by feminist praxis and combined with creative practices, not only breaks the silence around stories of (sexual) violence, but can be used as an intervention and tool for young women and marginalised groups to represent their lived experiences of violence. This further allows participants to exercise creative control around which narratives emerge and how they are portrayed while also giving space for joy, resistance and triumph. Ultimately, the paper argues for the use of creative methods which offer a more hopeful and exciting direction in the pursuit of amplifying marginalised stories. |
