description This paper explores the value of Arts Based Engagement Ethnography (ABEE) when working with people from vulnerable or minoritized communities. ABEE is situated at the juncture of social justice theory, arts-based methods, and critical ethnography. Through a worked example of a study with newcomer youth, we demonstrate how artistic probes, interviews, and group discussions can be combined in a rich multimodal analysis. In addition, we bring attention to aspects of rigour and ethics throughout the analysis. We conclude by reflecting on our process of maintaining rigour, and invite readers into contending with questions of rigour that we encountered.
