On Monday 9th May 2022 we hosted this Artful Inquiry:
How does Frankenstein relate to Artful Inquiry in a Post Human Age?
Celebrating the publication of the Special Edition of the Action Research Journal on Artful Inquiry.
| Hosted by Mayvin Director James Traeger and Rob Warwick |
How does Frankenstein relate to Artful Inquiry in a post human age?
Rob and James are the founding fathers of our Artful ways webinars and we have been on quite a journey with them.
Those attending often feedback that the artful practices we explore enable access to their subconscious. Shining a light on something unseen. Or providing insight or a new perspective on an existing issue, by challenging and interrupting their usual cognitive processes.
This session was in celebration of Rob and James guest editing a Special Issue of the Action Research Journal: Artfulness in the Organisational Playground. It includes five papers from Brazil, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland. Highlighting how art e.g. pictures, vlogs, fanzines, music and our everyday practice of interacting with each other, helps us to develop the practice and knowledge of ourselves and others. We get close to the grain of everyday experience that might otherwise go unnoticed.
