Abstract
Adopting a Deleuze-Guattarian framework, this article discusses a practice-based study in which the notion of belonging was explored with recruited participants through the material practices of art making. The article addresses the relations between art and politics and focuses on art encounters as material and sensual encounters. After establishing the approach, I look at the micropolitical, the capacity to affect and be affected in transformative art encounters. I focus on a single example taken from the multiplicity of art works created in the writing workshop under scrutiny, a visual poem, as well as the responses of exhibition visitors collected by the research team.
