“…Decoloniality is the nature or quality of a decolonising project, movement, practice, system, autonomous region, philosophy, or ideology, or a decolonial way of being. Certain researchers attempt to decolonise PR through methods instead of a meta-methodology (Seppälä, Sarantou & Miettinen 2021). For example, Charlotte Smith et al (2020) and Evans, Leah & Petrović (2020) attempt to decolonise PD.…”

Outside of community-led design projects, most participatory design processes initiated by a company or organisation maintain or even strengthen power imbalances between the design organisation and the community on whose purported behalf they are designing, further increasing the absencing experience. Radical participatory design (RPD) is a radically relational answer to the coloniality inherent in participatory design where the community members’ disappointment is greater due to the greater expectations and presencing potential of a ‘participatory design’ process. We introduce the term RPD to show how research and design processes can be truly participatory to the root or core. Instead of treating participatory design as a method, a way of conducting a method, or a methodology, we introduce RPD as a meta-methodology, a way of doing any methodology. We explicitly describe what participation means and compare and contrast design processes based on the amount of participation, creating a typology of participation. We introduce ‘designer as community member’, ‘community member as designer,’ and ‘community member as facilitator’ models and provide characteristics for the meta-methodology of RPD.

“…I put my faith in my abilities to utilize potentially disruptive practices drawing from decades of professional work within participatory and socially engaged art (SEA) 3 (Eriksen 2007;New Meaning, 2012), not only to develop knowledge together with teachers within the visual art pedagogic realm of CSMA, but also within the institutional frameworks of arts-based educational research (cf. Loveless, 2015;Seppälä et al, 2021;Springgay, 2020).…”

“…Sensitive topics difficult to open up to and articulate through written or verbally based methods were brought into the space and shown the potential to evoke an emphatic understanding of the ways in which other people experience their worlds (cf. Eriksen et al 2020;Kara, 2015, p. 83-84;Levy, 2017;Mitchell et al, 2017;Seppälä et al, 2021;Ulrichsen, 2018). This approach could also be described as a way of making the familiar unknown (Manney, 2010).…”

“…Learning to unlearn -Tracing Failures Within Arts-Based Participatory Research 43 potentially contribute to decolonial approaches, epistemologically and methodologically. This, as an isolated approach by no means has an automatic transfer effect in transgressing to a decolonialisation of educational systems in general and art pedagogies more specifically (Seppälä et al, 2021). To be able to move from monocultural to pluralistic multi-dimensional education we need to work from within pluralist proximity at all levels, especially in spaces where decisions are made.…”

In this article, I trace my own research practice in a process of unlearning from an individual self-reflexive approach. Striving towards a more participatory and collective approach, I turn my attention to relational aspects between people, materials and discourses, and give them a central role in knowledge production as I move and find myself being moved in and out of apparently incommensurable paradigms: the qualitative and the post-qualitative; the humanist and the post-humanist; the post-humanist and the decolonial. I will unpack some of the emerging challenges, tensions and potentials as a becoming researcher pushing against boundaries in a space of conventional academic expectations within my researcher education.
