Abstract: We propose to approach the complex notion of power through paradox and resistance, coupled with art-based approaches. Our engagement helps examine how expressions of power can be put into question and undermined by art-infused flâneurie. Art can serve as a paradoxical bridge between power and resistance, inhabiting the liminal space between the possible, the imagined, and the enforced. We undertake an explorative quest, using archetypes to bridge some gaps between understandings. This text contributes to paradox theory by proposing how art can throw light on the dynamics between power and resistance by revealing aspects of unseen layers of this tension.
