The development of this method explored how art therapy can be applied differently when the space and system in which it is practiced focuses on power-with dynamics, connection, and empowerment. This was explored through an integration of alternative art therapy practices and relational-cultural theory. The development of this method aimed to support connection, facilitate access to art making, and work from a position of empowerment through power-with rather than power-over dynamics. Third spaces were utilized as an ideal place of practice for this method due to their relational quality and tendency towards a collective sense of ownership and access. Button making was the art process mobilized for this method due to the history of buttons as a visual tool for collective messaging, personal and community identification, organizing, and empowerment.
