Abstract
This thesis explores the notion of knowledge co-creation by way of three collaborative a/r/tographies, using arts-based research methods to analyze and disseminate findings.
• The first explores new histories through social fiction, connecting knowledge gained through archival research of mariner life from Newfoundland to Portugal, combining understandings between myself and Mariana Mendes Delgado.
• The second a/r/tography is produced with Marko Savard and explores artists' residencies in Quebec national parks, employing watercolour painting as contemplative praxis and sound composition as iterative listening practice.
• The third is a research project with Dra. Sara Carrasco Segovia – a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Barcelona. This inquiry was a performative reconstruction of the experience of research exchange between two emerging researchers through cartographic production.
We develop a holistic, co-created understanding of inquiry through a/r/tographic exploration of themes such as academic identities, visual language, pedagogies of discomfort, new histories, and transcultural experiences. Located in the post qualitative, I explore this work through the lens of posthumanism, nomadic theory, and new materiality. The following propositions ground the inquiry: research collaborators can co-create knowledge; collaborative a/r/tographies are one manner art educators can co-create knowledge. Through this, we can reconcile multiple and collective truths. Employing deliberate co-creation of knowledge, we can challenge the notion of research and knowledge as solitary and singular. I have analyzed and synthesized findings through a multidisciplinary art installation. Ceramic vessels containing electroacoustic compositions and perfumes invite viewers to explore a multisensorial pedagogy that weaves together the experience of inquiry and co-creation.
