Practice-as-Research

Practice-as-Research (PaR) is an approach where creative work, such as art, design, or performance, is used as a method of inquiry to generate new knowledge or insights. Instead of solely relying on written experiments or traditional research methods, practitioners reflect on and analyze their own creative processes and outcomes. This integration of practice and research allows for a deep exploration of ideas, where making becomes a way to discover and understand complex questions. Ultimately, PaR demonstrates how creative activities can both produce meaningful work and contribute to scholarly understanding.
