Abstract
In this colloquium, the author responds artistically to Bone and Blaise’s article ‘An uneasy assemblage: Prisoners, animals, asylum-seeking children and posthuman packaging’, published in Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood in 2015, continuing their trajectory of ‘different kinds of images than those usually seen in an article in an early childhood journal’. Here, I employ the practice of making as an experimental research method to reconsider the relational and ethical issues raised in Bone and Blaise’s primary article.
