About
Digital Arts in Social Work (DaSoWk) is fusion of traditional storytelling techniques, modern digital arts and evidence based social work practice.
​
The use of digital arts in social work uses various forms of media such as audio, photography, music, narrative, text, video to communicate and share stories and experiences. These stories and images have the potential to develop community partnerships, teach, motivate, connect with others, illustrate identities and experiences, and create action (La Rose et al., 2018; Detlor, 2017).
​
Trish Van Katwyk and Catherine Guzik originally partnered in 2020 to provide therapeutic social work interventions using digital storytelling and photovoice technology. In 2023, Kei Lau joined the team, enhancing their capabilities with her expertise in leveraging social media platforms. Together, the team is dedicated to empowering individuals through innovative approaches that blend social work principles with technology and arts based interventions.
