This multimodal essay represents the authors’ meditations on the power and potential of arts-based methodologies that attend to the creative traditions of Globally Marginalized People (GMP). We consider how engaging our own breadth of literacies, cultural wealth, and wells of embodied and experiential knowledges informs our research and praxis. Specifically, we investigate how harnessing these ways of knowing and being enables temporal shifting that can lead to vivid, robust, and visionary theorizations and understandings of justice for GMP. To illustrate our own temporal shifting, we offer multimodal autohistoria-teoría to illustrate how arts serve our theoretical and empirical work.
