Curated
by School for Transformation and in collaboration with AIL
There are many productive synergies between
artistic and transdisciplinary strategies, and quite often they overlap. Artistic strategies, just like transdisciplinary
approaches, do not start from fixed onto-epistemic positions, but draw on a multiplicity of registers and perceptions to disrupt
hegemonic knowledge regimes.
Likewise, both reject disciplinary boundaries
in favor of transversal approaches, aiming to undo rigid distinctions between thinking and practice, embodied knowledge and
scientific expertise. Based on a heterogenous mix of theoretical and practice-based interventions the lecture series asks:
To
what extent can artistic strategies be transferred to other contexts? And is that indeed desirable, given the situated, open-ended,
and speculative nature of arts-based research? Where do we need to insist on the autonomy of aesthetic practice to stay clear
from the demands of transferability, valorisation and impact?
Together with a distinguished group
of guests we explore what artistic strategies and aesthetics bring to the field of transdisciplinary research.
All
events will be held in English.
