Abstract
Reconceptualizing the studio from a conventionally bound, gendered, and privileged space into a mobile environment that cultivates personal and pedagogical introspection, two art educators interweave a transnational feminist lens in unpacking a patriarchal studio concept. Their stories represent how the studio can exist, as a mobile space that can be accessed, claimed, and transformed into a transnational feminist pedagogical site for creative resistance demonstrating that the mobile studio has much potential for transnational feminist pedagogy in art education. Conceptualizing a studio as a space for healing, reflection, and creativity in a lush forest glen was a catalyst for an empowered artwork, Yellow Tent, which challenges rigid borders and emphasizes multi-place, mobility, self-reflection, and storytelling toward transnational feminist activism and community-building.
