Wayfinding in arts-based methods: Navigating home, belonging, and the future with children born of conflict-related sexual violence in northern Uganda
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In this article, we explore the wartime and post-war lives of a unique group of internally displaced children—those who were born in Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) captivity in northern Uganda. We draw upon in-depth interviews and individual and collective art-making activities with 79 children born of conflict-related sexual violence in three districts in northern Uganda. Using the concept of “wayfinding,” we highlight children’s perspectives and experiences in relation to home, belonging, and future-making. In particular, we examine the role of imagination and the co-emergence of shared terrains of meaning in the creation of a community of experience in these children’s lives, as well as how children worked both individually and collectively to actively (re)build and (re)envision their past, present and their futures. We argue that for children born in LRA captivity, establishing control over their memories and experiences, individually and with others, enables a form of individual and collective wayfinding through social exclusion that contributes to agentive future making.

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.
