Summary/Abstract: This paper sets out to present project e-ma, a doctoral research project carried out within the school of education at the Queen’s university of Belfast. Project e-ma explores the potentiality of the shin-tou artefact e-ma [絵馬] as a means to discuss and engage hope within a specific deprived working-class community of south Belfast; the Donegall Pass. Using the theoretical frame of Paulo Freire’s (1970, 1974) Critical Pedagogy and an arts-based educational research approach (ABER), which incorporates the methodological frame of Mertens’s (2007, 2010) “transformative paradigm,” project e-ma sets out to examine whether the key tenets of Freire’s Critical Pedagogy: dialogue, praxis, transformation, problem-posing, disruption, conscientização, undergirded by democracy and social justice can be explored via the conduit of the votive tablet e-ma, and if so what that might look like.
