Becoming otherwise: transformative justice as emergent creative collaboration

Becoming otherwise is an emergent, ongoing, unfolding sense-making process that navigates and responds to experiences of grief, rupture, and justice within our lives here and now, surviving in the polycrisis. Using critical autoethnography and creative practice, I iteratively map my lived experiences of intimate partner violence to explore the ways in which justice can be created collaboratively to refuse and resist rupture, and repair our sense of agency and community accountability. I aim to demonstrate that transformative justice is a creative, collaborative commitment to being in right-relation with oneself and others as a way of becoming otherwise and experiencing justice.
