“…Research within the RI project includes qualitative techniques of interviews, observations in the field and simply "hanging out". This has developed into long-term relationships even outside of formal research spaces, for example where we have assisted in hosting exhibitions for late-artist Vetkat Kruiper (Lange, 2006), and the publishing of Mooi Loop (Kruiper, 2014), an art and poetry book by his wife Belinda Kruiper. The trust that comes with time spent in building up these sorts of relationships before research participants feel they are in a space in which they would like to express themselves candidly is not underestimated by us.…”

This article critically examines the conventional researcher-researched relationship thatempowers the researcher over the researched. The orthodoxy of objectivity – claimed to locatethe researchers as neutral observer – is here argued to be a power relation that has an excludingeffect where subject communities are concerned. By means of an archaeological case study thatincluded mapping and interpretation of ancient rock engravings we offer a new way of negotiatinginterpretations. This new way involved four members from a Bushman community who helped usnavigate spiritual, ontological and environmental dimensions in making sense of rock art.
