Embodied narratives: A qualitative study with public spaces and creative bodies in Northern British Columbia using arts based methods and social justice methodologies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This multidisciplinary arts-based research-creation study explored health and wellness realities, including my own, of people in northern British Columbia. In two public settings, autoethnographic creative writing was translated into installations and performances. The use of arts-based methods in this study was intended to evoke participants’ intuitive ways of knowing, leading to (re)connection with self, body, and land/place: in short, to resilience. The broadest question of the research was: Can practices anchored in creative/performative autoethnography and body-attuned narrative help people in northern landscapes attend to mental health and healing? The findings emphasized achievable potentials for individual and community resilience, as well as renewed connection to place, through creative interventions that engage narrative in sensorial ways. Findings also emphasized the importance of selfdetermination and agency within the design of creative interventions, and the implications for healing through witnessing narrative.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
