Research

This Research Archive is part of an artists’ research-led initiative that took place in 2014/15, with an aim to contribute to the provision of specialist and contextual knowledge locally, and to discourse on contemporary cultural practice, with a particular emphasis on trans disciplinary, collaborative, participatory, social and politically engaged practices.

Our purpose was to establish this space as an on-line forum for knowledge cocreation and production, and as a participatory research platform, exploring creative strategies and the (changing) role of the artist/art in times of transition, both within and without the institution;

We are concerned with the questions raised about the role or potential of arts and activism, and of art itself as it engages with other disciplines and other modes of cultural production, from urbanism to environmentalism, from experimental education to participatory design, from community resilience to social change and to cultural transformation.
