Arts-Based Research
Participatory arts-based research involves collaborators in the artistic exploration of topics, blending collective creativity with inquiry to co-create knowledge and amplify diverse voices, fostering inclusive understanding.
WHY is Participatory Arts-based research important?
-
Ensures inclusive representation of voices often marginalized in traditional research.
-
Facilitates deeper emotional and cognitive engagement leading to richer insights.
-
Democratizes knowledge by empowering participants as co-creators of insight rather than passive subjects.
-
Art captures nuanced, emotional, and experiential aspects.
-
Visual arts can be more accessible and relatable to a wider audience compared to dense academic papers.
-
Bridges cultural, linguistic, or experiential gaps among participants, fostering mutual understanding.
-
Artistic processes can be therapeutic, offering a space for human connection and self-discovery.
