Artography in Theory and Practice in Higher Education

A/r/tography is a hybrid research methodology and performative pedagogy that emphasizes the three positions artist (a), researcher (r) and teacher (t), and how they are entangled and have agency on one another. The concepts hybrid methodology and performative pedagogy mean that a/r/tography is both a way of doing research through/with one's own arts teaching practice, and a way of teaching through an artistic, explorative and research-informed approach. A/r/tography is also a writerly practice – an ongoing, performative and theorizing writing practice.

Through the course, you will develop knowledge of a/r/tography and practical experience as an a/r/ tographer. The course has intensive seminar days that take place digitally. Between the seminars, you will examine a/r/tography individually and collaboratively as theory and methodology, and carry out your own a/r/tographic process. You will take part in a/r/tographic peer supervision processes.

The course contributes to the development of higher arts education pedagogical practices.
