Through a diverse range of inquiry, creative writing, art, and reflection, the contributors explore the ways in which colonialism, racism, and epistemological violence shape our world and demonstrate the profound impact of decolonial arts pedagogies in both formal and informal education settings. By employing a multitude of critical lenses, including intersectionality, the book offers readers a comprehensive exploration of how transnational feminist theorizing and art pedagogy inform, shape, and contribute to the strategies of activism in various spaces. This interdisciplinary work appeals to scholars, postgraduate students, and practitioners interested in arts education, sociology of education, postcolonialism, and multicultural education.
