On the 10th December 2020, Zita Baracsi was awarded her PhD for the thesis entitled ‘Analyses from an A/r/tographic Perspective of Maintaining Participatory Flow with the Intention of Enhancing Empowerment During a SchoolCommunity Art & Craft Project’.

This interdisciplinary research is focused on the process of empowerment in relation to the facilitation of participatory flow during a school-community art & craft project. Applying an a/r/tographic framework and multimodal analyses, the research aims to understand how an artisan-facilitator’s creative flow may maintain participatory flow, and conclusively contribute to empowerment.
