A one-day symposium in Brighton exploring and sharing practice-based research in art, architecture & design that uses socially engaged or participatory methods.
This programme brings together artists, researchers, curators, and writers to ask:
How do socially engaged and participatory methods offer different understandings of what research can be?
What sort of outcomes do they produce? How can this work be documented, and shared in ways that acknowledge the collaborative and dialogic nature of the research?
What sort of challenges come with socially engaged and participatory research for the researcher and the participant?
Please find the programme below.
