Both messages from the future developed under the aegis of the Intercept provide wonderful interweavings of the possibilities of policy, social life and hopeful futures using watercolour animations.

A Message From the Future With Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

[The years of repair] Although one can be critical of the economies of repair (on which much conservation work is based and other market-based methods to address climate change), this second message from the future came right at a time where hopelessness was at its peak before the US elections. Both the narrator and the artist put into words/images our futures and seeing this helps me spur into action in times where it's easy to wonder what difference does any action make.

Though I am wary of the corporate aspects of this method, I wonder how collective reflexivity about the future, building on what works can incorporate notions of power and difference. Would such a method depoliticise any facilitation geared towards envisioning the future?

Participatory video documentary: just for whom?

This article by De Lange et al (2008) describes the version of the participatory video (PV) method I plan to use.  I have been hard-pressed to find images from PV that do not reproduce racist stereotypes existing in development.

In this paper we explore how visual participatory methodologies, such as participatory video documentary, can be used by researchers to engage educators to take action concerning social issues that impact on their teaching. Educators from township schools in Motherwell, Port Elizabeth, voluntarily participated in a two day video documentary workshop. From the wide range of challenges identified, the vulnerability of learners affected by HIV & AIDS was selected by the teachers as the most pressing issue. This research therefore brought together two important current issues in South African society, viz the teaching profession and educators (often viewed as unwilling and/or unable to intervene in the lives of learners or in the broader community) and HIV & AIDS, creating opportunity for change in both. Participatory visual methodologies offer teachers the opportunity to play a leading role in researching and developing ways to increase awareness around the social and educational injustices deriving from the HIV & AIDS pandemic. Participatory video documentary work thus has the potential to move teachers into action that facilitates social change. The paper explores just whom the research is for, and how participatory research can be utilised to promote social justice in school and in the community.

In searching for tools, imagery and websites that resonated more with what I want to do [versus how youtube portrays participatory video] I realised that any search for "participatory" might yield development imagery. A search for "social justice" and "films" led to this.

Social Practice Art: Engaging Community Through Art | KQED Arts | PBS LearningMedia

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Social practice art can look like just about anything: journalism, community organizing, even a shop. The goal is to engage the audience and help people think about social issues in new ways. "For me," says social-practice artist and professor Stephanie Syjuco, "the best social practice projects actually try to attract people to join a conversation."
