The Preventive Custody project was developed across both Peruvian and Swedish contexts and involved a diverse group of collaborators from each country, as described in the text Comadres de Dios: A Journey of Narrative Control and Creative Empowerment (Section 3.1 of the Mining Life thesis). This appendix follows the same structure as the Key Components of the Methodology section of that text, offering additional material that corresponds directly to the methods discussed there.
In particular, the compilation focuses on: Forum Theatre and Expressive Arts, Character and Story Development, Collaborative Scenography and Visual Storytelling, and Refining the Script in Sweden. The materials were produced in Madre de Dios, Peru, as well as in Stockholm and Kopparberg, Sweden, and range from video documentation of performative workshops in the Amazon (2022) to personal reflections by collaborators such as scenographer Johanna Mårtensson and dramaturgist Eva Maria Dahlin.
These documents offer further insight into the layered, collaborative process that shaped the project and complement the methodological framework laid out in the main text.
