“The course inspired me to lead the DEI committee (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity) in my organization considering the importance of using inclusive language in the work environment. This methodology served as a foundation for activating social justice in the organization.”
“By using autoethnography, we’ve been able to highlight the lived experiences of individuals within our creative and activist projects, ensuring that their voices are not just heard but deeply understood and reflected in our work. For example, we have started to use this during our artivism workshop where participants are encouraged to draw from their personal experiences to create art that reflects their journeys, struggles, and triumphs. These personal narratives are then woven into the broader context of social justice, activism, and advocacy.”
“I am not an artist and my understanding of art is limited. Therefore, I was finding some challenges at the beginning when I started the course with Zoya. But Zoya understood without me having to explain and she was professional and patient to teach me and help me understand the course smoothly and simply. She also succeeded in including everyone in the discussions and interactions.”
“For me, the course introduced a new approach to thinking about my work and daily routines. It provided a perspective that emphasized a more interconnected and collective understanding of the world. One method that particularly resonated with me was engaging with morning routines. Mapping, embodying, and repeating these routines enhanced my overall awareness. And that it is needed to think beyond the personal on a daily level.”
“After attending Zoya’s workshop, I had the chance to integrate this methodology into our strategic and creative training with Artivism Fellows in Lumbini Province. It was an effective way for the fellows to connect with one another in more intimate way and provided way for each other to understand individual as well as collective social, cultural and life context.”
