PRACTICE AS RESEARCH

RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS

  • Art/Science collaboration exploring new avenues for climate risk communication with a focus on putting the lived experience of communities into the wider context of climate research.

  • Music and environmental peace-building projects exploring the use of creative music making as a tool for community building and sustainable futures.

Practice as research where co-creation is a method of enquiry.

Narratives emerge through the making of sound art and performance as both epistemological processes and aesthetic output.

Projects supported by universities, research councils, and cultural funders

Mark Forde

Approaches include:

  • “Thinking through making” as method and philosophy (Ingold 2013)

  • Ethnographic and sonic research — participatory interviews, songwriting, soundscapes, sound-mapping, performance

  • Performance as political and pedagogical witnessing

  • Projects supported by universities, research councils, and cultural funders

Key message:

Knowledge-making emerges from creative engagement with others.
