While exploring intersectional discrimination, many students had a tendency to use social stereotypes as examples for their ideas for an art project. Finally, collaborative brainstormings and one-on-one talks help them to re-think their own situationally as being discriminated against or examine their own biases.

abstract
This article shows how drawing can be used to discuss intersectional discrimination in a multicultural middle school. It reflects on the rhizomatic entanglements of conducting research through arts methodologies and applying design processes to develop an anti-racist art curriculum for middle school. To do this, I used a/r/tography to navigate a research diagram in which drawings from my students are used as valuable data to reflect and analyze the curriculum, my praxis, and multiple roles. I praised the importance of using drawing with seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth-grade students as a visual thinking process in multicultural school environments to discuss and address all forms of discrimination. Applying principles of a/rt/ography, I documented their process journals while weaving them with the research diagram and theory. I also reflect on the international-mindedness mission statement from the International Baccalaureate in connection to the neo-liberalization and misconception of what global education is and how it is being practiced. I suggest that drawing as a performative research tool can produce non-verbal expressions leading to other ways of knowing relevant information for the artographer and students. This knowledge production is relevant to students’ live experiences regarding the intersections between social and political issues. However, more pedagogical approaches have to be developed to continue reinforcing the connections between social issues and climate change.
