Abstract	In this article, I discuss the performative, art-based, and participatory methods used in two major research projects conducted with immigrant youth in Finland: Since 2009, I have been engaged in the participatory performative research project “A Finn, a Foreigner, or a Transnational Hip-hopper? Participatory Art-Based Research on the Identification Negotiations and Belongings of Second-Generation Finnish Immigrant Youth”, and in 2016, I began to work as a researcher for a project called “Young Muslims and Resilience—A Participatory Study.” I also discuss the roles that participatory performative research approaches play in these projects. I begin by briefly discussing my own positionings as a researcher and by introducing the main data, materials, productions, and themes that emerged from the data. I then reflect on the methodological foundation of these projects. Finally, I discuss how young people have negotiated their belonging through multiple identifications and relations to religion by examining their performative productions and the insights that participating in these projects provided them.
