ART-Ethnography Lab workshop

Description

In this workshop, we will explore creative auto-ethnography as a research method, as well as a form of dissemination. We will reflect upon the interplay between creative auto-ethnography, movement and gender, discussing theoretical and methodological perspectives and challenges, as well as the potential collaborations that can be established through creative methods of research. Research-creation, or artistic creation, can entail amongst others: Visual art (drawing, cartooning, painting, photography, collage making, sculpting etc.); Video and film-making; Performance art (dance, drama, role-plays, and music); and Writing (through story, prose or poetry-based activities. Artistic modes of research lend themselves to the establishment of symmetrical relationships between researchers and fieldwork interlocutors, as well as creating space for intercultural exchange. Unlike most conventional research practices, these artistic modes of research are more likely to affect and be affected in moments of encounter and collaboration. As performing and performative practices, they act and are acted upon. This means that creative autoethnographic practices are, as also highlighted by Gale and Wyatt (2018: 1) for auto-ethnography in general, activist practices, “always shifting, always about movement, intensity, and potentiality; it never resides, it lives in the creation of the next moment, the next step into the not yet known”
