Principal Investigator: Sarah Flicker. Partner: Sketch Working Arts.

Funding: SSHRC Partnership Engage Grant.

Term: 2021-2023.

The project aims to build on and actualize the knowledge and learning surfaced and generated by Sketch Working Arts' Making with Place youth artist researchers, to disseminate key stories and findings, and identify pathways forward for the Sketch agency, and community arts practice. This work is grounded in, and will inform interactions of, the Sketch Theory of Change (ToC). The project seeks to capture the pathways and outcomes through which young people can engage and express in the arts, develop increased agency and capacity, navigate and manage challenges, and organize action in community. It seeks to mobilize knowledge, and further co-create and activate understandings of these processes of change, with the youth who are living and leading this work.
