While belonging is rarely an explicit concern of participatory arts-based research (PABR), fostering inclusive relations is both an important condition for and outcome of PABR projects. Based on a participatory arts-based study with refugee-background young people in the United Kingdom and Australia, this article proposes five dimensions of PABR that mediate belonging within the project and shape possibilities for belonging beyond it: resources, relations, reflection, representation and recognition. Acknowledging the possibilities for transformative belonging emerging from PABR’s unique combination of participation, arts and research, this article draws on Bourdieu’s framing of the research interview as an ‘exceptional situation for communication’ to conceptualise the PABR project as an exceptional sphere of belonging. Attending to (non)belonging in participatory arts-based research projects facilitates new insights into the practical, affective, embodied, socio-cultural and ethical relations that they produce and makes an important contribution to our understanding of PABR’s much lauded – but less well evidenced – transformative potential.

尽管归属感很少是基于参与艺术的研究（PABR）的明确关注，但建立包容性关系既是PABR项目的重要条件，也是其成果。基于与英国和澳大利亚的有难民背景的年轻人进行的基于参与性艺术的研究，本文提出了PABR的五个方面，它们可以调解项目中的归属感并塑造超出项目范围的可能性：资源，关系，反思，代表和承认。认识到PABR参与，艺术和研究的独特结合带来的变革归属感的可能性，本文借鉴了Bourdieu的研究访谈框架，将其视为“交流的特殊情况”，将PABR项目概念化为卓越的归属范围。参加（非）属于参与性艺术的研究项目，可以促进他们对所产生的实用，情感，具体化，社会文化和道德关系的新见解，并为我们对广受赞誉的PABR的理解做出重要贡献-但证据不足–变革潜力。
