ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book presents cases mainly from the field of social sciences, also exploring certain forms of participatory research that are not that often associated with arts-based methods. It discusses connected entanglements and disruptions with care through their collaborative quilting process. The book demonstrates the power of sharing, learning and doing together as a means to visibilise unspoken histories and reverse power hierarchies across the boundaries of coloniality. It explores movement as a research method in her study of capoeira for refugee women and children in Jordan. The book illustrates that while capoeira may offer valuable tools for developing movement pedagogies that are helpful in addressing some challenges in the everyday life of refugees, these methods are restricted by factors such as the short-term nature and discontinuity of activities.
