Abstract (English): In this paper we make practical and theoretical contributions to feminist adult education. Practically, we provide an overview of a three-hour arts- and play-based research workshop with research activities/tools that readers can further research to adapt to their own contexts. Theoretically, we explore how these creative practices can contribute to wider notions of relationality and ethics of care when integrated with Indigenous, decolonizing, and intersectional feminist approaches. After offering a rich description of arts- and play-based methods (photovoice, found poetry, collage, narrative métissage, river journey, and Lego visioning), we discuss how creative methods and practices hold the potential to foster deeper connections, promote collective accountability, and support the ongoing work of decolonizing education. We encourage future research to further explore the intersection of these practices with feminist adult education and to continue expanding our collective understanding of how to cultivate care, responsibility, and reciprocity in teaching and learning settings.

Abstract (French): Cet article apporte des contributions pratiques et théoriques à l’éducation féministe des adultes. Le côté pratique offre un survol d’un atelier de trois heures sur la recherche axée sur les arts et le jeu qui fournit aux participants des activités et des outils qui pourront faire l’objet de recherches s’ils souhaitent les adapter à leur propre contexte. Le côté théorique explore les façons dont ces pratiques créatives contribuent à des conceptions plus larges de la rationalité et de l’éthique des soins en combinaison avec des approches autochtones et préconisant la décolonisation et le féminisme intersectionnel. Après une description des méthodes axées sur les arts et le jeu (Photovoice, poésie retrouvée, collage, métissage narratif, River Journey, conception Lego), nous discutons du potentiel pour les pratiques et méthodes créatives d’encourager les connexions et de promouvoir la responsabilisation collective et les efforts visant à décoloniser l’éducation. Nous encourageons des recherches qui exploreront davantage l’intersection de ces pratiques et de l’éducation féministes des adultes et continueront de développer notre compréhension des façons de cultiver les soins, la responsabilité et la réciprocité dans les milieux d’apprentissage.
