    In the 21st century, visual communication has widened significantly to embrace new platforms and technologies, including multi- and hypermedia, augmented and virtual reality, and, ultimately, artificial intelligence (AI). These new platforms and technologies have profoundly altered the visual tools of pedagogy and exhibition communication, both areas targeting the way(s) we envisage and shape our futures.<br/><br/>In communicating visually, a rich variety of formats and (re)presentations can be employed to support human participatory experiences with non-humans. Non-human agency, which can be very specific and identified in a tree or a river, is recognized in both new materialist philosophy of science and Indigenous studies scholarship. Ontological discussions in Indigenous studies go even a step further and recognize its ethical implications. From the Indigenous point of view, the limited space of human-only thought can be seen as an expression of the colonial tactics of violence against Indigenous territory.<br/><br/>Non-human agency opens up a venue for shared authorship and visual communication with non-humans. Through visual communication, images are in focus and words may become obsolete, opening avenues for knowing differently. In this context, bioart and biodesign, areas of practice and research that include non-human living organisms in creative processes, are both a step forward and a step backward: they are innovative in the exploration of nature as a source of creative encounters of humans with non-humans, but return to a communication sphere that predates the introduction of machines (first mechanical, and later digital mediators) in human imagining.<br/><br/>Contributions to this Research Topic will reveal, in written and visual form, a wide range of successful (or failed) co-authorships of artists, art educators, and non-humans. They will be based on studies exploring the objectives, processes, and outcomes of practices and collaborations; or provide models for a creative coexistence of humans and non-humans. Makers, artists, designers, and researchers will become experimenters, collectors, and natural agents to present multifaceted explorations in studios, laboratories, or residencies, working across fields and disciplines, and co-authoring with non-humans.

    New thinking about arts-based research (ABR) and how it functions to achieve its ambitions is needed. ABR needs to be extended from arts-based expression and enquiry to arts-based analysis to produce reliable data as a result of best practices. However, how arts-based methods (ABMs) work in research processes and how they are applied as working principles in all research phases have not been widely discussed. This article seeks to take a step back to the basic patterns of human thinking to understand why ABMs can be effective in volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) research fields with many existing unknowns. The ABMs of creating cultural probes and the analytical method of collaborative visual analysis (CVA) for creating more plural and collaborative analytical processes will be explored. In the humanities and social sciences fields, the transferability of these methods can benefit qualitative and mixed research approaches.

    This chapter discusses the interface between co-design and occupational well-being and expands the discussion about how co-design fosters innovation on occupational well-being in healthcare. This research is aiming to change both the way occupational well-being is discussed in healthcare context and the tools offered to create change and innovations around occupational well-being. We felt it is important to focus on topics that are enhancing workplace wellbeing and empowering individual workers. This is the motivation for a variety of solution-focused and empowering methods within the design processes. Our research question is: How co-design and solution-focused methods can foster innovations and tools around occupational well-being?

    Japan has a high population of elderly people, and worldwide, the number of elderly people residing in nursing homes continues to increase every year. This study explores concerns related to the quality of life (QoL) of residents in nursing homes from an inclusive design perspective. The research aims to obtain new insights into developing new prototypes that can potentially be integrated into improved QoL in nursing homes, based on an inclusive design methodology, the elderly, or users, social workers, and care managers of a facility in Japan participated from the early stages of the research. Design thinking underpinned the inclusive design approach, and four workshops were conducted with researchers from various fields, such as design, engineering, and economics, who participated to discover challenges from multiple perspectives. Based on the workshop outcomes, nursing home experts and researchers developed and evaluated five prototypes through mind mapping, text mining, and prototype production stages. The five prototypes were considered excellent communication tools in nursing homes. These five complimentary prototypes can be integrated into a comprehensive service system that can produce lasting effects on the QoL of elderly home residents. Avenues for future research require ongoing exploration and integration into more sophisticated services through operational verification to see how they globally can be used in nursing homes and various alternative elderly care models.

    Digital economies are perceived as offering new potential for Indigenous people to exploit more significant shares in the digital sector while producing positive community outcomes. Respecting the views and rights of the participating cultural groups is of vital importance in any project that deals with living cultural heritage (LCH). At the same time, access to online cultural heritage has not sufficiently adapted or catered to the new habits of social media consumption, especially among the younger Indigenous generations, who wish to use their own devices to document artistic processes embedded in the cultural heritage of their ancestors, which is sensitive information they may not readily share. The objective of this paper is to explore how digital devices can foster a critical exchange by Indigenous communities. One important finding is that not all communities want such an exchange, but artists, for example, can use them without sharing content beyond personal use. This paper emphasises the challenge of making the intentions behind a story clear to users while guarding this intention and meaning from misuse.

    The aim of this paper is to explore the roles and transformative potential of co-authorship with more than humans (MTHs) through biomimetics. Specifically, how can social biomimicry be reimagined through collaborations in learning, performative practices and co-authorship? Furthermore, how can such collaborations inform models of shared learning spaces for new knowledge transformation in society? To address these questions, this paper presents two case studies on the Nakagawa (Naka river) in Fukuoka (Japan), and the Kemi river in northern Finland. Methodological approaches include ethnographic action and analysis. Several entry points for coauthorship with MTH’s through biomimicry revealed themselves, represented though the cormorant, kingfisher, dragonfly and salmon. MTH co-authorship presents opportunities to foster a new conscious and engaging push to change habits and adopt virtuous behaviours and attitudes of collaborative learning that encompass plural design and transition. Biomimicry through explorative, meditative, and performative practices present embodied opportunities for such behavioral and attitudinal shifts required to address societal challenges.

    Large construction projects are underway at Lapland Cen-tral Hospital, the northernmost hospital offering both primary healthcare and specialist care in Finnish Lapland. As a service provider, the hospital also covers healthcare services for children. One ongoing integration is focusing on chil-dren’s hospital services by providing psychiatry as an integral part of somatic care. The children’s hospital offers opportunities for innovative and creative approaches to explore storytelling as a way to innovate healthcare services with children. This study explores fiction-based research practices and how they can be adapted as a visual service journey mapping tool, which is a commonly used method in service design. This chapter discusses how children can be involved in planning hospital services through creative storytelling, how ser-vice design can be used to produce imaginative materials and analysing the data produced during creative design processes. As an outcome, a fiction-based storytelling method and visual service journey mapping tool will be presented as the result of using the materials of the children’s service design process in hospital settings in Finland.

    When we think of marginalisation, artists come to mind less often. This artistic and design-thinking experiment investigated artists' attitudes after engaging in an empathy-hack with business mentors and service designers. The empathy-hack was based on the Self-Hack concept used for individuals to engage in life design and life-skill development. Self-Hack was developed by Creativity Squads in 2019, a Finnish association established at the Tampere University of Applied Sciences (Pilch and Vessa-Matti 2019). The experiment explored how the arts can function as a vehicle for constructing entrepreneurial worlds, especially for artists who often operate on the margins of entrepreneurial environments. Furthermore, the experiment encouraged artists to improvise by delving into their own unique talents and abilities and collaborating with business mentors and service designers to take a bold leap and cross the divide between art and business worlds.

    This chapter draws on two workshops carried out with a group of Anangu Aboriginal artists and the Fibrespace Incorporated textile artist group in South Australia. The two workshops are part of a two-year project titled ‘Women Living on the Edges of the World’, which is also informally known as ‘Margin to Margin’. The chapter discusses the role of art, storytelling and narrative practice as a means for local empowerment by focusing on the front end of social design processes, when artistic and social design methods are used to familiarise the participants, designers, artists or artist-researchers with one another. Empathy refers to the capacity to understand the elements that shape the realities and situations people face. Empowerment refers to the degree of self-determination and autonomy in groups or individuals and the ability to represent their interests responsibly and in the way they determine.

    The Flag workshop explores visual and multisensory thinking as an internal process for the University of Lapland’s fashion, textile art and material study students and artist-researchers (authors). The students verbalised and visualised their ideas, thoughts and feelings, which led to the initial ideas and material experiments being transformed into sketches. This culminated in the Flag: A Shared Horizon installation. The colourful and kinetic installation Net, emerging from Flag, mirrors the shared horizons of youth during and after the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting extended global lockdowns. The installation came about in Agora Hall in the F-Wing of the University of Lapland. Both Flag and Nets are metaphors that look beyond the obvious challenges youth have faced during the pandemic, redefining their diverse understandings of hope, fear, needs and what constitutes novel ideas what they want in the future. Thinking towards the unknown can reveal insights into the underlying narratives, while arts-based methods can open up new approaches to the different challenges faced by society. Net will represent the portrait of the participating youth from December 2021 to February 2022. The objective of the workshop was to provide these youth with knowledge about pluralism and how to apply it in their (re)design thinking. It was a process for applying a lens of pluralism to a real youth-based workshop, solving problems by prioritising their (the participants’) needs above all else and sharing what they learned in the workshop.

    This chapter investigates the role of materiality as a mediator of empathy through culture-based design by exploring the meanings that are associated with reindeer in product design. It adopts a culture- and material-based approach, which involves reflecting on how interactions amongst cultures can be recast as a resource in product design, specifically in the context of tourism. The use of materiality to facilitate empathy in culture-based design provides designers with tools to enhance self- and wider cultural understandings through their complex making and social environments. The chapter draws on methods such as workshops and participant observation. The chapter presents a theoretical framework for empathic design in tourist-focused products, which is developed from concepts borrowed from culture-based product design, and Leonardi’s concept of materiality that includes multisensory experiences of materials.

    Rigid structures and differences in the sociocultural contexts of art academies and universities across the world can limit cross-disciplinary collaboration and network building. Artistic and arts-based research has the potential to unfold a transition in art and design fields, merging them into a cross-disciplinary arena that summons radical innovation. Based on the concept of the pluriverse, this chapter explores speculative scenarios of envisioning the future of artistic research by analysing four case studies. These cases apply similar methods in engagement with diverse audiences to disseminate multiple themes or concerns (social, environmental and cultural) and to represent different medialities/medial situations and scales of collaboration, hence contributing to the concept of the pluriverse within arts-based research and artistic research projects. This chapter addresses the following four questions: For whose benefit is artistic research initiated? Who is doing artistic research? With and by whom is artistic research conducted? Why is artistic research conducted? Hence, the social aspects of artistic research are explored to better understand the relationship between collaborative practices and research. The ‘social’ in the scope of this chapter includes a wider group of agents, including nonhuman contributors. After an overview of theory behind the key themes—artistic research, arts-based research and the pluriverse—the authors proceed with autoethnographic analysis of the above-mentioned questions through the prism of their personal experiences and specific case studies from their respective artistic research practices. Further application of these autoethnographies in discussing the pluriversal agenda results in an outline of the profile of a contemporary researcher and the social aspects of her research, both in and beyond institutional settings.

The book presents a practical four-step approach to the challenges presented concerning how organisations can turn from merely feeling empathy with or for people to actions of empathy and compassion that can be implemented with and by communities. It discusses how refugee youth’s well-being and integration into societies can be strengthened through creativity and arts-based approaches, here as a way to strengthen their sense of belonging and connection to new environments. The book discusses how love and hate letters were used to gauge customer satisfaction and build empathy through digital business. It explores the relationship between historic and local stories, place making and empathy.

    Missä kulkevat elävää materiaalia hyödyntävän biotaiteen rajat? Millaista tietoa jää tieteellisen tutkimustyön ulkopuolelle? Miten biotaide voidaan muuttaa taidelähtöisten menetelmien kautta tiedoksi ja taiteelliseksi ajatteluksi? Esimerkiksi näihin kysymyksiin etsii vastausta Lapin yliopiston taiteiden tiedekuntaan vuonna 2021 perustettu BioARTech-laboratorio, joka tutkii biotaidetta ja sen yhtymäkohtia taiteeseen ja tutkimukseen. Laboratorio tukee biotaiteen, muodin, tekstiilitaiteen, luovan tutkimuksen (art-based method, art-based research), biotekniikan ja tieteen välistä tutkimustyötä. Keskeistä BioARTech-laboratorion toteuttamissa kenttätutkimuksissa ja laboratorion taiteilija-tutkijoiden käyttämissä taidelähtöisissä menetelmissä on poikkitieteellisyys ja pyrkimys kohti kestäviä prosesseja. Biotaiteen avulla voidaan kehittää innovatiivista suunnittelua luonnon ja ei-inhimillisen kanssa sekä saada aikaan uusia suunnitteluratkaisuja, prosesseja ja muutoksia yhteistyössä lappilaisten yritysten kanssa. BioARTech-laboratorion päätutkijat ovat tekstiilialan professori Heidi Pietarinen, palvelumuotoilun professori, dekaani Satu Miettinen ja dosentti Melanie Sarantou, jotka tarkastelevat biotaidetta eri näkökulmista taidelähtöisissä tutkimuksissaan.

    This chapter draws on two workshops carried out with a group of Anangu Aboriginal artists and the Fibrespace Incorporated textile artist group in South Australia. The two workshops are part of a two-year project titled ‘Women Living on the Edges of the World’, which is also informally known as ‘Margin to Margin’. The chapter discusses the role of art, storytelling and narrative practice as a means for local empowerment by focusing on the front end of social design processes, when artistic and social design methods are used to familiarise the participants, designers, artists or artist-researchers with one another. Empathy refers to the capacity to understand the elements that shape the realities and situations people face. Empowerment refers to the degree of self-determination and autonomy in groups or individuals and the ability to represent their interests responsibly and in the way they determine.

    This chapter explores the value of including digital storytelling in service design for improving the quality, safety and convenience of health-related services. The aim of the chapter is to explore how stories of healthcare experiences can be shared through digital tools to garner critical insights into creating innovative healthcare services and improving the quality of treatment. The data were collected through the personal stories of the authors regarding health treatment and care processes; these were shared as digital diaries within a closed network through the digital tool and communication platform WhatsApp. The stories were autobiographical reflections on service journeys that mirrored, for example, the rehabilitation process of a child from a mother’s point of view and the self-narrated treatment of spinal injury and rehabilitation from an adult’s point of view. WhatsApp enabled multiple methods of communication: written text, voice recordings, pictures, videos, emojis and graphics interchange format (GIF). The tool enabled documentation of and reflections on service moments or feelings that were encountered in health-related environments. The platform also provided freedom of expression in a safe and trusted environment, as the diary authors were able to control access to the content. The digital data were transferred from WhatsApp into an online whiteboard tool and were explored by the authors in-depth through collective autoethnography. The outcomes of this study offer insights into how digital tools can be used to better scope and collect the experiences of healthcare users and explore the role of storytelling in developing meaningful and innovative healthcare services and treatment quality.

    <p>This research investigates the significance of creative freedom and self-expression through the visual analysis of artworks produced in a workshop under the theme ‘Visual Literacy’. This multi-layered qualitative study presents the findings from a participatory arts-based research approach that elicits students’ creative expression through their personal mandalas. Artworks collected from this creative process were assessed using the interpretive phenomenological analysis method whereas the Common European Framework of Reference for Visual Literacy (CEFR-VL) was used as an assessment tool. Supporting youth through arts-based interventions and motivating them to communicate their feelings and perceptions can be an integral part of students’ creative development. Hence, as the focus of the study, this paper aims to illustrate the youths’ perception, interpretation, and meaning-making through the artistic creative processes to stimulate their creative and critical thinking.</p>

    This article explores the fashion-related initiatives adopted by a Namibian nongovernmental organization (NGO)—Ombetja Yehinga Organization (OYO)—between 2006 and 2009. This NGO used fashion-based activities and performances to promote important social messages to Namibian youth. The article uses collective autoethnographic (CAE), narrative accounts, and a qualitative survey as data sources and adopts a reflexive and collective analytical approach. The article draws on existing theory and critical reflection to describe, analyze, and discuss OYO fashion–based activities. A framework for social designers is presented that considers how fashion shows and performances can be used to shape positive subjective and collective identities among Namibian youth to mitigate societal challenges, for example, those related to health, such as HIV/AIDS. The article suggests that fashion-based activities and performance are methods that can be used in the field of social design and interventions to generate a positive social impact. It also addresses the lack of assessment of the impact of arts-based initiatives.

    SECTION 2: Regional Policy Roadmaps: Finland/Lapland, University of Lapland
    Lapland is Finland’s northernmost region, a sparsely populated area bordering Sweden, Norway, Russia, and the Baltic Sea. Lapland covers 30% of the Finnish land mass but has only about 3% (about 180,000 people) of the total population of about 5.4 million people. Distances are long; for example, from Simo, the southernmost municipality of Lapland on the shore of the Bay of Bothnia, to Nuorgam in Utsjoki, at the top of Finland, is more than 500 kilometres. The area of Lapland, 100,366 square kilometres, is almost onethird of Finland’s total area. About 175,000 people live in Lapland. The region hosts Finnish people, Indigenous Sámi people and other cultural minorities. The history of the region is shadowed by colonialism. Many so-called ‘megatrends’ (Nordic Council of Ministers, 2011, 2018) take place in Lapland as well as elsewhere in the Arctic region. Climate change, globalisation, urbanisation, unemployment, and shifting demographics influence people’s lives and cause challenges in the social, cultural, and economic settings and post-colonial situation of the area.

    Acting on the Margins: Arts as Social Sculpture (AMASS) is an EU Horizon 2020 research project funded under the theme of Societal Challenges and the Arts, which focuses on the cultural rights perspective of marginalisation and its effects on other forms of exclusion in Europe. Using arts-based interventions, this project aims to address marginalisation challenges through community involvement and community building. This white paper compiles the outcomes of research studies and previous arts interventions (Section One) and the European testbed of arts-based interventions (Section Two). These insights form the basis of the identified needs and corresponding recommendations, which can be read in Section Three. Below is a summary of the sections. As part of the AMASS project, qualitative and systematic literature reviews were performed to understand the current research discourse on the assessment of arts-based interventions with a social focus in Europe. According to our analysis, culture and the arts are framed as participatory, sometimes therapeutic, means of empowering individuals and communities to assert agency over their own lives, develop and express their identities and strengthen local learning and development initiatives. Our results also point to effects that can be problematised as negative, such as the social reproduction of dominant groups’ values and practices at the expense of marginalised groups. Thus, the arts are not a given good but can depend on context. Previous arts-based interventions often lacked the personnel and financial resources to continue after the end of the funding period. In many cases, the assessment of project results was anecdotal or lacking. As a result, the power of the arts for social well-being and cultural integration could not be convincingly revealed. The AMASS European testbed included 35 arts-based case studies to evaluate the impact of these approaches in addressing marginalisation. The outcomes of these testbeds were compiled around tasks designed to achieve the following: 1. Develop and sustain innovative artsbased projects 2. Collect, analyse and evaluate data to measure the impact of the projects 3. Encourage active participation as an added value 4. Promote networking and new modes of dissemination to increase impact 5. Sustainable use of public spaces to engage communities 6. Renew the promotion of culture using technology 7. Support cognitive development through art education

    One of the key objectives of the Horizon 2020-funded project, Acting on the Margins: Arts as Social Sculpture (AMASS) is to evaluate and develop new policy frameworks for using arts to overcome societal challenges. This book illustrates some of the outcomes of the process the AMASS project partners have undertaken collectively to develop policy recommendations for the role of the arts to mitigate societal challenges. All partners participated in the policy work: Sweden tackled cultural policy analysis in the partner countries, while the partners from the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Portugal and the United Kingdom engaged in practical policy work in parallel to the implementation of the AMASS European Testbed of 35 experiments in the latter seven countries. The policy-making activities incorporated the implementation of two stakeholder workshops in each of these seven countries.

    This research revisits individual and collaborative artistic processes to articulate the combination of creative skills to produce and document research outcomes. Various creative processes, such as costume-making, performance-making, artistic video, photo documentation and editing, came about under particular circumstances and with different objectives. These processes, all with their unique and embedded stories, were brought together in a collaborative research outcome to create an original visual story with layered meanings – the video titled ‘Merelle (To the see)’ (Miettinen 2021). This video illustrates the connections between the different creative processes, and the memories, bodies, places and environments attached to them. However, some of the places and environments in which the costumes, performance and video came about were also implicit, only to be revealed in the research dissemination. The selected methodology entailed narrative accounts, reflexive research and collaborative visual analysis. The data were collected through storytelling and note taking of the events that enabled was re-narration of the three artistic processes described in this article. The reflexive research methodology and analysis drew on visual data from photography and the video to explore the outcomes of the collaborative work.

    More Patience and Creativity
    This article discusses a design research project in which design practitioners and researchers collaborated to develop training guidelines and a toolset for a stakeholder workshop to be implemented by partner organisations of the Arts on the Margins: Arts as Social Sculpture (AMASS; 2020–2023) project. It fo- cuses on the learning experiences of the design team, which was comprised of four people who created the online environment for the stakeholder workshop. The team members, who are also the authors of this article, were all design- ers and researchers with varied backgrounds and experiences. The workshop activities were adapted from a face-to-face format to an online environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The objectives of the article are to explore the team dynamics, approaches to design development within digital environ- ments. The use of collaborative autoethnography (CAE) and reflection en- abled the design team to assess their design processes and learn from critical discussion. The results will present guidelines for teams developing and con- ducting online workshops in digital environments.

    The article explores the processes designer-makers and communities should engage in before using service design approaches to produce creative tourism experiences. These processes can yield insights into the inner processes and interactions with external environments of creative individuals and communities. Case studies from Finnish Lapland and Namibia show the importance of identity construction, creativity and storytelling for context mapping. The article presents a practical and flexible mapping tool that has been derived from these case studies. This tool can be expanded and applied by designer-makers for practical mapping activities. The findings indicate that creative tourism involving designer-makers can provide new tourism opportunities that not only generate deeply relevant experiences for tourists but also sustainable livelihoods for local designer-makers.

    This article presents the design and research process of a design team of four designer-researchers, who are also the authors of this article and collaborated to develop training guidelines and a toolset for stakeholder workshops. The intention was to use the series of stakeholder workshops as a key method for developing policy recommendations about the role of arts in mitigating societal challenges. The stakeholder workshops were implemented across Europe by the partners of the European Commission H2020-funded project, Acting on the Margins: Arts as Social Sculpture (AMASS). Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the designer-researchers had to transfer all activities, such as face-to-face workshops and their own work processes, to a digital environment and online participation. The digital toolset and user guidelines were aimed at training the project partners to conduct stakeholder workshops and collect data for creating cultural policy roadmaps that would be context-specific for the European region where they were located. The design process for creating the digital artefacts, such as the digital toolset, user guidelines and online workshop environment, is discussed in this article, in addition to this study’s opportunities and limitations.

    This article will introduce the Love Talks and Neighbourhood (later Love Talks) project, part of the AMASS, Acting on the Margin: Arts as Social Sculpture project. Love Talks was realised in Finnish Lapland in 2020, as part of an effort by local artists and art education students to explore how arts initiatives can build tolerant, community-focused neighbourhoods, while reflecting on how such activities can be scaled up to larger initiatives. The artists and art educators involved in the project took on the roles of teachers, developers, enablers, curators, facilitators, producers and creators of a new dialogic operational culture. The project asked whether socially engaged art can provide new tools for social interaction and increased collaboration. Can it lead to a new dialogue, critical discussions and new forums for participation? This paper highlights the importance of paying attention to how activities are organised and realised in the diverse and often challenging environments characteristic of socially engaged art and community-based art education. It explores how to promote encounters, tolerance and well-being through the use of art, and the role of culture and art in promoting social inclusion, capacity building, networking and participation in daily life and living environments.

    This interdisciplinary article views meaning innovations as socially constructed and reflects on designing in the context of potential harmful consequences within information technology (IT) contexts. In the shift from products towards services, digital platforms and technology designers have gained a mediating and more strategic role while developing multiple connections and interactions between products, touchpoints, users and suppliers. The design manager is involved in organisational strategizing and innovating. Following key principles of design, the context of all those affected by design should be considered. Meaning innovations may emerge when designers facilitate, partially guide and are guided by strategic goals and innovation discourses in organisational settings in conjunction with numerous others. Based on a literature review and reflection on empirical findings, this article suggests paths for designing meaningfulness through an exploration of material lifecycles, digital content, algorithms and data transparency in digital contexts. The concept of meaning innovation is suggested to encourage organisations to reflect on decisions regarding responsibility, sustainability and transparency beyond the mainstream customer focus leading to improved organizational sensemaking and decisions, supported by design.

    This chapter explores how creative tourism can be applied as a strategy for decolonization, inclusion and participation. Creative tourism is about engaging tourists in activities that stimulate them to use their creative potential and confidence in a cultural tourism setting. Creative tourism can occur through either total immersion in cultural activities, for example singing, crafts production, painting, or through less interactive roles, such as being spectators in a concert, museum, or more informal cultural settings, such as community theatres or cultural events.

    In an effort to challenge the ways in which colonial power relations and Eurocentric knowledges are reproduced in participatory research, this book explores whether and how it is possible to use arts-based methods for creating more horizontal and democratic research practices. In discussing both the transformative potential and limitations of arts-based methods, the book asks: What can arts-based methods contribute to decolonising participatory research and its processes and practices? The book takes part in ongoing debates related to the need to decolonise research, and investigates practical contributions of arts-based methods in the practice-led research domain. Further, it discusses the role of artistic research in depth, locating it in a decolonising context. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, design, fine arts, service design, social sciences and development studies.

    Task: Incl. - Artist talk with Professor Heidi Pietarinen and Dr Melanie Sarantou Melanie (25 min) - Lecture titled ‘Atmospheric Encounters’ with Prof. Heidi Pietarinen (30 min) The task focuses on learning that can arise from different sensory experiences through listening, seeing, feeling and other ways of perceiving the environment and the effects we can have when interacting with it. The task may expect you, for example, to look differently to see the and to see what we usually do not see. The task may also ask you to engage through different temporalities (e.g. slowness) and ways of thinking. The purpose of the task is to understand how bioart can assist us to engage with aspects of biomimicry that can enable us to understand our societies differently, in addition to reflect on our roles, both collectively and individually, within our societies. You will work in teams to explore a way of mark-making within your environment. You can choose any medium within your environment to create traces or marks. Sustainable choices could for example be to explore working with wind or water, to create and document your mark-making. You can document your ‘traces’ with either photo or video tools available to you.

    Task: Incl. - Artist talk with Professor Heidi Pietarinen and Dr Melanie Sarantou Melanie (25 min) - Lecture titled ‘Atmospheric Encounters’ with Prof. Heidi Pietarinen (30 min) The task focuses on learning that can arise from different sensory experiences through listening, seeing, feeling and other ways of perceiving the environment and the effects we can have when interacting with it. The task may expect you, for example, to look differently to see the and to see what we usually do not see. The task may also ask you to engage through different temporalities (e.g. slowness) and ways of thinking. The purpose of the task is to understand how bioart can assist us to engage with aspects of biomimicry that can enable us to understand our societies differently, in addition to reflect on our roles, both collectively and individually, within our societies. You will work in teams to explore a way of mark-making within your environment. You can choose any medium within your environment to create traces or marks. Sustainable choices could for example be to explore working with wind or water, to create and document your mark-making. You can document your ‘traces’ with either photo or video tools available to you. We encourage you to explore techniques, such as (but not limited to) frottage, printing, embossing, non-human line drawing, non-human stitching as forms of mark making or tracing.

    The article explores the use of textile arts to counter dominant narratives associated with stigmatising memory loss and dementia. The article asks how textile arts can generate social transformation and elicit social dialogue to be a vehicle for mitigating societal challenges. Joseph Beuys’s (1979, c.f. Harlan, 2004) concept of social sculpture will be used to understand how textile arts can be used to counter harmful narratives that stigmatise memory loss and dementia. The role of arts-based approaches in improving the quality of life (QoL) and creative engagement with people who experience memory loss, and the role of arts-based methods (ABMs) in recollective practices and memory work will be addressed through an arts-based research strategy that was supported by narrative approaches and documentation via the digital WhatsApp tool that enables text messaging, voice notes and photos to be shared.

    This chapter focuses on decolonising practices in service design in a quality certification project carried out for a Master of Design programme in Chile. The process resulted in a change of perspective, from that of a strict and formal quality certification process of a postgraduate programme, which is a requirement in the Chilean education system, to one that involved the co-definition and co-creation of a community. Measures of improvement of the programme were explored by integrating sensitive and fundamental emotions identified by the students, graduates and teachers of the programme. The research methods for data collection included workshops, surveys and collecting testimonials. Significant findings illuminated the role of the service designer–facilitator as the promoter of dialogue and creator of an optimal atmosphere for co-creation, and how decolonising approaches in service design through a continuous process of reflection on achievements and emotional and behavioural processes strengthened a sense of belonging and collaboration throughout the process.

    This paper examines the participation of various healthcare specialists and representatives in three design sprints aimed to co-design healthcare services through service design approaches. The design sprints were executed during the spring of 2019 in Gothenburg, Sweden; Tallinn, Estonia; and Rovaniemi, Finland, each lasting four to five days. This paper discusses the varied roles of healthcare representatives as participants in health-related design sprints and how these different participatory roles can optimise, support and catalyse design sprint processes to develop health services. The findings show that by being part of a team, healthcare representatives can learn to use design methods and design thinking, which have an impact on future development work for healthcare services. The value of the paper lies in presenting a practical framework for use in design sprints by healthcare representatives towards the development of health-related services.

Two cases are considered, namely the Life 2.0 project that focuses on generating information and communication technology services for ageing individuals and groups across Europe, while the second case is a project that was conducted with the BoAi aged care facility in China in which food services were (re)designed through insights stemming from the community. A comparative analysis will investi-gate how ageing communities collaboratively work with stakeholders, including designers and other professionals, to develop new services with the elderly. The comparative analysis presents insights into the role of ageing communities in service design processes and their roles as co-creators in new futures.

    Identities and notions of the in-betweenness of designers in management positions in Silicon Valley might be shaped by one another given changing sensemaking contexts. As organising becomes less bounded with shorter job tenures designers have been constructing their identities in interactions with diverse stakeholders. Tools, skills and values together with previous experiences continuously shape design manager identities. This research explored design manager in-betweenness by linking it with identity construction, critical sensemaking and social constructionism. While hybrid design managers produce profits and innovations by utilising user data, they also might steer their organisations towards more inclusive values and global responsibility. Internal struggles may follow while there is a need for open interdisciplinary reflection. A broader global understanding of the design space is suggested. Implications for education extend beyond the design field. Deeper reflection on ethics and production consequences across occupational silos enhances critical thinking, enabling collective identity cultivation in organisational sensemaking.

    The articles discuses improvisatory processes through the recognition and actuation of affordances within specific environments and situations. The synergistic relationships between resourcefulness and improvisation, and people’s interactions within their given environments, will be addressed through two arts-based activities that were conducted with a student community in Arctic Murmansk, Russia, as part of the Margin to Margin project. The article will discuss and analyse the role that affordances play in intricate, familiar and unfamiliar environments, especially those that are associated with making, the arts and improvisation. The arts-based activities drew from varied art-based methods and narrative approaches to data collection and analysis, such as storytelling, textile arts practices and making, narrative analysis, self-reflection and diarising. The outcome of the article explores the dynamic role of improvisation to address challenges by recognising and actuation affordances within the environments in which art and design makers, but also researchers, work and function.

    The significance of laps, specifically women’s laps, as bodily spheres in which making, learning and other informal activities take place remains predominantly unrecognised. The relationship between making, bodily spaces, places and laps is explored herein through self-portrayals of the three authors, or artist-researchers, each of whom provide personal anecdotes, observations and reflections on their experiences with lapwork. The chapter employs the methodological strategy of arts-based research (ABR), supported by a collaborative autoethnographic (CAE) approach. Research methods used include group discussions, observations, probes and self-documentation through note taking and photography. The contribution of this chapter to knowledge is the sustainable role of lapwork in making practices in extreme environments such as the North and the Arctic. The role of laps in supporting embodied learning enables the reinterpretation of spaces that support thinking and learning while doing and making.

    <jats:p>The research investigates the role of service design and improvisation as decolonising practice. It is based on case study research with a focus group consisting of Namibian artists, designers, artisans and arts organisations who participated in artistic and cultural exchange activities of the Art South-South Trust (ASST), a start-up Namibian not for profit (NFP) organisation. The goal of ASST was to increase visibility of the focus group members, enable global exposure and create an arena for multi-vocality. The paper creates a practical framework for decolonising practices in Namibian arts and design by drawing on reflective practice to analyse the activities of ASST alongside interview data collected from Namibian and Australian partner organisations and participants in the program. Critical thinking is used to evaluate the impact of realised activities and processes both in situ in Namibia and in exchange in Australia. This paper explores practices that can enable decolonising processes in Namibian arts and design spheres</jats:p>

    This paper addresses the social phenomenon of ageing and emphasizes the importance of past experiences of ageing individuals when creating new solutions to deal with the issue of elderly care. Thus, this paper explores what role the ageing community can play in creating new service solutions for social innovation in senior care and also looks to ascertain how past experiences of the elderly can empower them to develop their own services. A comparative analysis is adopted as a method to respond to these aims. Two projects are used for this comparative analysis. Life 2.0 focused on generating information and communication technology services to provide a platform of support in social interaction for ageing people throughout the EU. BoAi focused on exploring the possibility of transferring the ‘good old days’ into current elderly care services in China.

    This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book presents a practical four-step approach to the challenges presented concerning how organisations can turn from merely feeling empathy with or for people to actions of empathy and compassion that can be implemented with and by communities. It discusses how refugee youth’s well-being and integration into societies can be strengthened through creativity and arts-based approaches, here as a way to strengthen their sense of belonging and connection to new environments. The book discusses how love and hate letters were used to gauge customer satisfaction and build empathy through digital business. It explores the relationship between historic and local stories, place making and empathy.

    This article addresses the issue of care for the residents of the BoAi aged-care institution in China. It focuses on experience (service) design and institutional aged-care from the perspective of design practice and design research. Design often starts from the current experience of the user. In this article an understanding of senior care includes considerations for the senior residents’ experiences of the “good old days,” such as previous lifestyle, tradition, and filial piety in Asia. This means that elements of good memories and experiences of the past were transferred into the new service concepts that the project developed. Through the study at the BoAi home, current service experiences at the institution were investigated. For designers and design researchers working to increase senior care and service experiences, it is important to understand and distinguish between individual experiences. For the seniors it was meaningful to revert to their prior experiences. Therefore, the study of BoAi was approached through design ethnography. The article also suggests how care service experiences can be understood and classified in aged-care institutions. The aim of this article is to investigate how designers translate the prior experiences of seniors into action to affect intentional change for the promotion of better service experiences in aged-care.

    1. IntroductionThis chapter is situated in practical service design. It discusses learning through action by employing established service design tools and processes, including learning through co-creation (Sanders & Stappers, 2008). Due to the iterative working approaches that involve co-design, testing and evaluation, service design enables continuous and peer-to-peer learning (Kuure & Miettinen, 2013). Mapping both a physical and action-driven process, is explored in this chapter as a useful tool for learning through action in service design processes. Mapping is a powerful visualisation tool as it produces artefacts, the physical maps, which transfer semiotic data for stimulating new insights and progressing learning in customer journeys.Voitto is a Finnish word meaning victory, and a shortened word representing the Finnish phrase voimavaroja, toimintakykyä ja osallisuutta Lappiin, meaning increasing resources, viability and social participation in Lapland. This word was chosen as the title for the project discussed in this chapter. The practical use of mapping in the public sector where new tools are continuously sought to improve public services and address societal challenges (Kuure & Lindström, 2012). Voitto is an EU funded three year project that was initiated in 2017. The project seeks to explore new services for men who experience social isolation over a long period of time. The Education and Development Services from the University of Lapland leads the project, supported by an expert counselling team that includes the Regional Council of Lapland, the Eduro Foundation, Lapland Te Services, University of Lapland, Northern Finland’s Centre for Social Services, Ranua Municipality and Lapland Ely Centre. The Faculty of Art and Design at the University of Lapland contributes expert service design and artistic knowledge to the project. The project includes participants and project stakeholders from three municipalities in Finnish Lapland, which are Ranua, Inari and Ylitornio.The aims of Voitto is the social and economic empowerment of men who have become socially isolated and unemployed over years in these municipal areas. The target group (later in this article also referred to as participants or customers) are the most vulnerable and marginalised men that are ageing, (long-term) unemployed, often disabled and recipients of social welfare. Improving the work capacity of unemployed men, their quality of life and reintegrating them into their communities is at the core of the project. Social workers, guided by the expert counselling team, identified the participants.The project aimed to guide, counsel and train personnel in the application of the selected service design methods, including ethnographic observations and mapping. This entailed the development and modelling of participatory tools for the processing of current life scenarios by the target group, whilst simultaneously developing and formulating participatory tools for guidance and counselling for utilisation by the municipal workers who also fulfilled the role of counsellors. Service designers from the University of Lapland fulfilled the roles of process mediators. Table 1 illustrates how each municipality has participated in the working process and at what period.The goal of the project was to find meaningful forms of participation despite the difficult social situations these men face. Development work was carried out by municipal workers who were able to reform existing municipal services for new and improved customer experiences. The project aimed to improve the participation rate of the target group through new experiences that strengthened self-worth and status of the participants as contributing and confident community members.

    Improvisatory processes are considered synonymous with play, offering only second-best solutions to art and design problems. The role of improvisation in visual art processes is not widely discussed academically. This paper draws on a case study situated in Namibian art worlds to reflect on the role of improvisation in fluid and complex design and art processes. In Namibian contexts, improvisation is closely related to how artists and designers work instead of only being ‘play’, as improvisatory processes often respond to pressing demands and notions of having to do what needs to be done to sustain livelihoods. This paper documents and learns from the experiences and stories of Namibian art and design practitioners. The connective role of improvisation in design moments, allowing practitioners to negotiate multidirectional processes, often result in becoming unstuck in art and design processes. A holistic approach to improvisation, based on the understanding of lived experiences and actions within environments in which resources are utilised to solve design problems and build new experiences, is explored. Additionally, through improvisatory processes, learning is stimulated through new experiences that come about by utilizing the available resources within a given environment.

    In October 2016, the Margin to Margin research group carried out two art and storytelling workshops with the Anangu Aboriginal communities of South and Western Australia and the Fibrespace Incorporated textile artist group of South Australia. Women artists and craft-makers from the various communities predominantly participated in two intensive art-making and data collection workshops of less than one week each with an emphasis on narrative processes as service design tools. Challenging roles, such as being single mothers, primary household income generators and family caregivers, became apparent in both groups, whether they were remote or regionally based. The women resorted to art and craft-making as a means to cope with hardship, gain empowerment and improve self-realization. The remotely based Anangu Aboriginal communities face additional challenges as a legacy of Australia’s colonial past, resulting in complex political entanglements. The workshops aimed to build empathy with the participants by presenting a platform for dialogue to render audible the stories and artistic processes from outback Australia.

    This study presents the first holistic mapping of Namibian craft and design through narrative and commerce. At the centre of this study are the people of the Namibian craft and design world. With a focus on an independent and postcolonial Namibia, this study considers the impact of social and environmental forces on artefact makers and their artefacts. Thus, the cultural and social influences on rural and urban artefact makers, the roles narratives play in artefact making and marketing practices in different settings, and the presence of Namibian artefacts in craft and tourist markets of the southern African region are mapped. An ethnographic approach is followed in mapping the world(s) of Namibian craft and design. This approach is underpinned by scholarly work on narratives, craft and design theory and the practical application of postcolonial theory in fieldwork, analysis and representation of data. This holistic mapping addresses the lack of coordinated strategies in, and theoretical knowledge about, Namibian craft and design. The thesis explores how Namibian artefact makers negotiate and sustain their identities and existences through their practices, and why they continue their practices in spite of the challenges they face. Their narratives reveal how their quality of life and work environments impact on their craft practices. Just as artefact making offers ways to ‘work through’ their particular life challenges, storytelling offers ways to make sense of difficult circumstances. This thesis demonstrates how stories and artefacts function in social realms and suggests that stories play a crucial role in socially sustaining Namibian artefact makers and their making practices. The potential contribution of stories to sustainable marketing is also demonstrated. Most importantly, this holistic mapping identifies the challenges of maintaining sustainable craft and design practices in Namibia and presents some opportunities for their development.

    This edited volume uses an interdisciplinary approach to art and design that not only reframes but also repositions agendas and actions to address fragmented global systems. Contributors explore the pluriverse of art and design through epistemological and methodological considerations. What kinds of sustainable ways are there for knowledge transfer, supporting plural agendas, finding novel ways for unsettling conversations, unlearning and learning and challenging power structures with marginalised groups and contexts through art and design? The main themes of the book are art and design methods, epistemologies and practices that provide critical, interdisciplinary, pluriversal and decolonial considerations. The book challenges the domination of the white logic of art and design and shifts away from the Anglo-European one-world system towards the pluriverse. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies, arts-based research, and design studies.

    This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book presents a practical four-step approach to the challenges presented concerning how organisations can turn from merely feeling empathy with or for people to actions of empathy and compassion that can be implemented with and by communities. It discusses how refugee youth’s well-being and integration into societies can be strengthened through creativity and arts-based approaches, here as a way to strengthen their sense of belonging and connection to new environments. The book discusses how love and hate letters were used to gauge customer satisfaction and build empathy through digital business. It explores the relationship between historic and local stories, place making and empathy.

    The project TRUST strengthens research in the Global North and South by concentrating on interdisciplinary groups processing practices for digitalizing Indigenous cultural heritage (CH). There is a lack of holistic understanding and workable solutions for how to navigate the legal and cultural tensions existing with the processes of digitising Indigenous CH in an ethical way. Legal frameworks, like IPR, fall short of offering a regime that is respectful of ethical principles that are central for Indigenous Peoples, while maintaining the incentive purpose the IP system was built for in the first place. To build TRUST, we need to further develop the law so that it represents the interests of all parties involved in a balanced way. To reach this goal, the project applies educational methods and research to enable the integration of the views of marginalised groups in law and develops socially innovative tools of engagement to promote knowledge co-creation among the stakeholders.
