Abstract

Is it possible to explore the invisible? For people with disabilities whose social needs are often overlooked, participatory art-based methods may serve as a key to their expression. In the research described, working with clay combined with narrative expressions enabled participants with combined visual and hearing impairments to metaphorically “shape” their experiences related to the fulfilment of their social needs. The results indicate that such approaches not only reveal the barriers these individuals face but also strengthen their self-expression and enhance their social visibility. The study provides evidence that participatory methods can be an effective tool for social change, creating space for new approaches in inclusive practice, advocacy for social needs, and the empowerment of marginalized groups.
