The Art of Disaster Risk Reduction: an arts-based approach to strengthening community and institutional capacity in Colombia

摘要本提案侧重于与AHRC共同资助的跨学科研究项目直接相关的意想不到的影响途径：哥伦比亚境内的强迫流离失所和灾害脆弱性(2016年11月1日至2018年10月31日)。带着风险行动，试点创新的艺术方法，以审查哥伦比亚因冲突而被迫背井离乡的人如何在他们重新定居的地方面临洪水、山体滑坡和火灾等环境危害的高风险。研究小组利用创造性艺术作为数据收集的方法工具和增强境内流离失所者在减少灾害风险方面的能力的渠道。事实证明，在冒险行动中试行的以艺术为基础的方法在让境内流离失所者和与他们一起工作的机构围绕减少灾害风险的讨论、实践和政策开展工作并增强他们的能力方面非常有效。该项目将在马尼萨莱斯市、佩雷拉市和索查市的新的高风险案例研究地点开展工作，并与新的社区建立联系，以便不仅加强和发展与风险一起行动的好处和价值，而且将这些利益和价值转移给原始研究中没有接触到的新受众。通过在整个研究过程中的密切合作，该小组与境内流离失所者、他们的社区和与他们一起工作的组织建立了牢固的信任关系。这产生了新的产生影响的机会，这在最初的研究提案提出时是无法预见的。国内流离失所者和参与最初项目的机构直接参与了拟议的Impact活动的规划，这些活动的目的是发展和深化现有的关系，并与原始研究不包括的新社区的新社区建立类似的信任关系。Impact项目将把大学学者、人权组织Dejutica的研究人员、哥伦比亚红十字会的代表和当地市政当局的DRR部门聚集在一起，接触三个新的受众。首先，它将在新的案例研究地点让整个暴露在环境风险中的社区参与进来。来自委内瑞拉的最近移民以及更广泛的土著和非洲裔哥伦比亚群体将被包括在内，他们都与最初研究的唯一重点国内流离失所者住在同一空间。以艺术为基础的活动将被用来从这些社区获得关于他们关于他们所面临的风险的知识、经验和理解的信息。社区成员将接受以艺术为基础的培训，了解他们在DRR方面的法律权利和责任。然后，他们将利用以艺术为基础的活动在他们的社区内建立DRR网络。这些网络由当地社区运营，将在项目持续时间后继续存在，使社区能够积极拥有DRR实践。第二，该项目将深化与参与DRR工作的政府和民间组织的接触。来自这些组织的代表将接受培训，如何使用以艺术为基础的方法作为与处于危险中的社区合作的工具，并收集关于这些社区的知识、经验和需求的信息。将提供一个免费的学习包，为更多在DRR工作的组织和非政府组织提供培训。第三，该项目将解决公众对处于危险中的社区的负面看法，即处于危险中的社区是国家支持的受害者或被动受益者。艺术品将以社区的输入和他们喜欢的格式和风格被创建，并在社区选择的公共空间中展示。这将为被边缘化的社区创造创新的空间，以控制他们自己的代表框架，并阐明他们自己关于自己的优势、韧性、技能和能力的故事。在建设和平之际，这将使人们能够更多元化地参与处理冲突遗留问题和减少灾害风险。

Summary This proposal focuses on unanticipated pathways to impact directly related to the AHRC co-funded interdisciplinary research project, Moving with Risk: forced displacement and vulnerability to hazards in Colombia (1 November 2016-31 October 2018). Moving with Risk piloted innovative arts-based methodologies to examine how people forced from their homes by conflict in Colombia are exposed to heightened risk from environmental hazards such as flooding, landslide and fire in the places where they resettle. The research team used creative arts as a methodological tool for data collection and a channel for empowerment of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in disaster risk reduction (DRR). The arts-based methodologies piloted in Moving with Risk proved highly effective in engaging and empowering IDPs and the institutions that work with them around DRR discussion, practice and policy. This project will work in new at-risk case study sites in the municipalities of Manizales, Pereira and Soacha, and connect with new communities, in order not only to enhance and develop the benefits and value of Moving with Risk, but also to transfer these to new audiences not accessed in the original research.Via close collaboration throughout the research process, the team has developed strong relationships of trust with IDPs, their communities and the organisations that work with them in DRR. This has generated new opportunities for impact that could not have been foreseen at the time of the original research proposal. IDPs and the institutions involved in the original project have fed directly into planning the proposed impact activities, which are intended both to develop and deepen existing relationships and also to generate similar relationships of trust with new communities in new neighbourhoods not included in the original research.The impact project will bring together university academics, researchers from Human Rights organisation Dejusticia, representatives of the Colombian Red Cross and DRR sections of local municipalities, to reach three new audiences. First, it will engage whole communities exposed to environmental risk, in new case study sites. Recent migrants from Venezuela and broader indigenous and Afro-Colombian groups, who all live in the same spaces as the IDPs who were the sole focus of the original research, will be included. Arts-based activities will be used to elicit information from these communities about their knowledge, experiences and understandings of the risks they live with. Community members will receive arts-based training in their legal rights and responsibilities regarding DRR. They will then use arts-based activities to establish DRR networks within their communities. Run by the local neighbourhoods, these networks will continue beyond the duration of the project, empowering communities to take active ownership of DRR practice.Second, the project will deepen engagement with government and civil organisations that work in DRR. Representatives from these organisations will receive training in the use of arts-based methodologies as a tool for working with at-risk communities and collecting information about these communities' knowledge, experiences and needs. A free learning package will be made available to provide training for further organisations and NGOs who work in DRR.Third, the project will tackle negative public perceptions of at-risk communities as 'victims' or passive beneficiaries of state support. Artworks will be created, with the communities' input and in their preferred formats and styles, to be displayed in public spaces chosen by the communities. This will create innovative spaces for marginalised communities to control the framework of their own representation, and articulate their own stories about their strengths, resilience, skills and capacities. At a time of peacebuilding, this will allow for a more pluralistic engagement with the legacy of conflict and with DRR.
