Drawing on the literature on art-making processes and feminist post-structural theories, this article presents a case analysis of what feminist knowledge can be produced in art-making processes. This post-structural analysis of how artists investigate social issues pays attention to power, knowledge, gender and social meanings in art-making processes. The analysis is also autobiographical in nature as the workshop was based on this methodology. We explain how that multiple voices are involved in art-making processes and have varied emphases, primarily attributed to the voices that have power and embrace critical thinking. We claim that art-making processes stress critical perspectives of society and that promoting new ways of thinking, visualising and designing through arts demands practice-based skills, theorising and self-reflection. The visual designs, theoretical lenses, personal stories and artistic intentions in art-making situations provide equally important knowledge about the world and can induce possibilities for social change.
