“Empowerment for some doesn’t mean all are included in the process, and it’s easy to take for granted the ways or working and we engage with in research. I think that the Vital Arts project reflects these values deeply, inclusion is a practical process of ongoing engagement.. Small shifts mean more participants can attend, asking the right questions opens doors to new opportunities”
