Summary

While both artists and non-artists have long been working with art in socio-cultural settings, this phenomenon is now rapidly expanding worldwide. These initiatives are embedded in holistic real-life processes of change and are often informed by understandings of art that merge several art traditions. Practical knowledge and know-how within the field are immense. How do we make these accessible for interglocal exchange? In this talk, Dominique will discuss art practitioner research approaches, relate it to the Global Turn in research, and provide practical guidelines.
