This paper explores how ‘what matters’ can surface in multisensory arts‐informed projects as ways for young people to survive and stay with gender and sexuality troubles that are always more than theirs. Situated in an ex‐mining post‐industrial locale, we make an agential cut in a longitudinal research and engagement project called Unboxing Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) to open up a rare case study of entangled ‘creative coproduction’ (Renold and Ivinson forthcoming). Supported by an artist‐in‐residence teacher assistant, composer and filmmaker, we explore the making and mattering of a clay sculpture, the Bruised HeART, created by Alys (pseudonym, age 13) which we theorise as a ‘dartaphact’ (a concept combining ‘data’, ‘art’ and ‘act/ivism’ to register the posthuman participation of arts‐based data). We follow how the heART continues to matter through film and a second dartaphact made from barbed wire and skewered fragments of Alys' instapoetry. Drawing upon the concept of The Fold we compose three figurative folds (crushing matters; crystalising matters; carrying matters) to draw connections between Alys' activist mining ancestors, the silencing of queer violence, and her collection of locally sourced crystals – situated practices generating resourceful posthuman companions to manage multiple troubles. Each fold is composed for its passageway potential to glimpse at our ethical‐political praxis of attuning to and making‐with troubles already in motion and how dartaphacts might propel new ways of understanding and doing relationships and sexuality education Otherwise.

与麻烦共处：在创造性的后定性研究中与年轻人一起解开/折叠后人类参与者


本文探讨了“重要的东西”如何在多感官艺术项目中浮出水面，作为年轻人生存和保持性别和性问题的方式，这些问题总是比他们更多的。位于前采矿后工业区，我们在一个名为“拆箱关系和性教育”（RSE） 的纵向研究和参与项目中进行了代理剪辑，以开启一个罕见的纠缠“创意合作生产”案例研究（Renold 和 Ivinson 即将出版）。在驻校艺术家教师助理、作曲家和电影制片人的支持下，我们探索了由 Alys（化名，13 岁）创作的泥塑 The Bruised HeART 的制作和重要性，我们将其理论化为“dartaphact”（一个结合了“数据”、“艺术”和“行为/ivism”的概念，以记录基于艺术的数据的后人类参与）。我们跟随 heART 如何通过电影和由带刺铁丝网和 Alys 的 instapocy 的串烧碎片制成的第二个 dartaphact 继续发挥作用。借鉴 The Fold 的概念，我们组成了三个具象的折叠（粉碎物质、结晶物质、携带物质），以在 Alys 的激进采矿祖先、酷儿暴力的沉默和她收集的当地来源的水晶之间建立联系——这些实践产生了足智多谋的后人类伴侣来管理多种麻烦。每个折叠都是为了它的通道潜力而组成的，可以一窥我们在道德政治实践中调和和制造已经发生的麻烦，以及 dartaphacts 如何推动理解和进行关系和性教育的新方式。
