“…A/R/Tography, a method for practice-based research within art and education, also deserves a mention, since Haugerudbekken ventures into the field of education and research as well as art. However, we find this term somewhat misleading for Haugerudbekken, as A/R/Tography attaches equal weight to the different (albeit overlapping) roles of artist, researcher and teacher, indicated in the lettering of A/R/T (Irwin et al, 2006;Irwin et al, 2017). We consider ourselves first and foremost to be practitioners, and find that Haugerudbekken meets the defining qualities of practiceled as well as practice-based research.…”

Haugerudbekken is the collective title of a series of art projects where two local artists (the authors of this article) collaborate with pupils from local schools in Haugerud to create public art installations in the neighbourhood. Haugerudbekken may be considered a practical exploration guided by principles in the fields of socially engaged art (SEA), teaching artists (TA) and community artists (CA). The project is being undertaken within the broader context of a government run local improvement initiative in the Oslo suburbs of Haugerud and Trosterud. A growing demand for art entering a societal context (like urban development) calls for approaches emphasizing dialogue, communication and local affiliation. As this demand grows, so does the need for best-practice guidance for initiating artists as well as for policymakers and others inviting artists to contribute. Furthermore, our approach as independent artists working within a community setting might also benefit from clarification of theory and framework in this field. This article therefore aims to share knowledge gathered through our three years (and still ongoing) working on Haugerudbekken, pinpointing what we believe to be key success factors as well as challenges in our project. Findings are discussed in relation to existing theory and relevant practice in SEA, TA and CA informing existing guidelines as well as terminology.

“…Actual 4. Evaluative A/r/tography (Springgay et al, 2005;Irwin et al, 2017) is a research paradigm firmly rooted in the arts-based research paradigm, where knowledge emerges from the engagement of artmaking (a), researching (r) and teaching (t), through living inquiry and reflective writing. A/r/tography systematically questions ongoing creative and artistic practices in order to create knowledge, rather than to discover or structure pre-existing realities.…”

Patient Zer0 is an interactive generative artwork, designed around the poem “In Memory of Anyone Unknown to Me” by Elizabeth Jennings and created during the first confinements imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. While it has been showcased in several online exhibitions, this article details and analyses, for the first time, the artwork's algorithmic approach, as well as its aesthetics, the different media components, and the artist's intentions behind their inclusion and combination. In line with Springgay's, Irwin's, and Kind's a/r/tography, a recent creative research method is presented here, a/r/cography, which is complemented by a phenomenological dimension, as the author experienced the events from a physical, intellectual, and emotional perspective, in isolation, while at home in Portugal. The whole process was documented in a digital journal, which not only supported the underlying research but also documented the artwork variants and evolution. Patient Zer0 was entirely coded in Processing.js.

“…A second aspect of relationality in a/r/tography emphasises the relevance of the dialog between the roles of the artist, researcher and teacher that drives the process of inquiry. Many researchers have found in a/r/tography a way of being and becoming in the world that considers artistic practice a credible and recognised form of academic research (Irwin et al 2017). The shared reflection on practice generates new understandings as artist-researcherteachers engage with creative and challenging ideas.…”

“…Moreover, I engage in research through drawing to reflect on the challenges and contradictions involved in the process of empowerment. The decision to use the art of comics to reflect on educational experiences was informed by arts-based educational research literature, particularly a/r/tography (Irwin and De Cosson 2004;Triggs, Irwin and O'Donoghue 2012;Irwin 2013;LeBlanc, Davidson, Ryu and Irwin 2015;Irwin et al 2017). Previous scholarly comic-based research has been developed in the fields of anthropology (Bartoszko, Leseth and Ponomarew 2010), teacher training and art education (Jones andWoglom 2013a, 2013b), art education and identity (Roselló 2015), visual culture (Beccari 2014) and comic studies (Sousanis 2015(Sousanis , 2018García 2014).…”

Engaging, validating, imagining: A comic-based approach to (non)participation and empowerment

This article engages with art education and disability justice through a story narrated using comics. Lorena's Story is a short graphic narrative that explores the complexity of taking responsibility for (non)participation during a participatory animation workshop for children and young people with disabilities. The story inspires a reflective process that questions the model of empowerment present in participatory video literature, validates the diverse ways of being in the world with disabilities and inspires a different notion of empowerment. Within arts-based educational research methods, the comic story is a site of knowledge that aims to provide a sense of integrity, sincerity and authenticity. <p xml:lang="es">Este artículo se compromete a establecer una conversación entre el área de educación artística y el reclamo de justicia social de los estudios de discapacidad a través del arte del cómic. La historia de Lorena es una narrativa breve que expresa la complejidad de tomar responsabilidad de la (no)participación durante un taller participativo de animación para niños, niñas y jóvenes con discapacidad. La historia inspira un proceso reflexivo que cuestiona el modelo de empoderamiento presente en la literatura de video participativo, valida diversas formas de ser en el mundo con discapacidad, e inspira una nueva noción de empoderamiento. Dentro de los métodos de investigación educativa basada en las artes, la historia del cómic es un espacio de conocimiento que se propone generar integridad, sinceridad y autenticidad.
