This paper presents empirical and methodological findings from an art-based, participatory process with a group (n = 16) of adolescent and young advisors in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. In a weekend workshop, participants reflected on their participation in 12 years of health and development-related research through theatre, song, visual methodologies and semi-structured interviews. Empirical findings suggest that participants interpreted the group research encounter as a site of empowerment, social support and as a socio-political endeavour. Through song, theatre and a mural illustration, they demonstrated that they value 'unity' in research, with the aim of ameliorating the conditions of adolescents and young people in other parts of South Africa and the continent. Methodological findings document how participants deployed art-based approaches from South Africa's powerful history of activism, including the struggle against apartheid, the fight for anti-retroviral therapy and more recent social movements towards decolonization.
本文介绍了一项基于艺术的、参与式的过程的经验和方法学发现，该过程涉及南非西开普省的一组（n=16）青少年和青年顾问。在一个周末的研讨会上，参与者通过戏剧、歌曲、视觉方法和半结构化访谈，反思了他们在 12 年的健康和发展相关研究中的参与情况。实证研究结果表明，参与者将小组研究经历解释为赋权、社会支持和社会政治努力的场所。通过歌曲、戏剧和壁画插图，他们表明自己重视研究中的“团结”，目的是改善南非和非洲大陆其他地区青少年和年轻人的状况。方法学研究结果记录了参与者如何利用南非强大的激进主义历史中的基于艺术的方法，包括反对种族隔离、争取抗逆转录病毒疗法以及最近的去殖民化社会运动。
