Doing Creative Practice Research: Methods for Building Unusual Archives

Creative practice research enables the discovery of knowledge that is emotive, embodied, and sensory. More importantly, it provides exciting points of entry for the public to engage in dialogue with the research beyond traditional academic texts. Creative practice research has increasingly been adopted to generate new knowledge and perspectives not only in the arts but also across the social sciences and traditional STEM fields. In many countries, research policies and funding now include the consideration of creative practice or artistic research.

This workshop demonstrates creative practice research methodologies by working with materials that have potential for the telling of invisible stories. The workshop will provide an opportunity to write and discuss the banal, the everyday, and the vernacular through paying attention to voices, objects, and artefacts that are not normally thought of as traditionally archival or having formal archival potential. The workshop facilitators will provide examples from their own creative practice research.

This workshop is designed for researchers keen on partnering with creative practice researchers and for students and their supervisors working on creative practice research.
