Abstract

This article is an analysis of the ways in which creative assessment in Latin American literature, particularly sewing textiles, led to positive well-being benefits for students during the early stages of the Covid-19 lockdown. Through the lens of research coming out of occupational therapy, health-based arts therapies, and the Conflict Textiles collection, it explores general student feedback and two case studies of the visual and written elements of an assessment submitted in 2020 in a Latin American literature course in Spanish and Portuguese Studies, Queen’s University Belfast, to show the potential eudaimonic well-being effects of creative projects.
