From a Desk in the A/r/tography Lab Into the Future

image of From a Desk in the A/r/tography Lab Into the Future

This short piece is an invitation to think with and in relation to the chapters included in the fourth section of the book, which explore the role of propositions and potentiality in the field of a/rtography. It considers embracing a/r/tography as a methodology of trust and imagination. This way of thinking can lead one to wonder about the significance and impact of artmaking and artistic practice within a/r/tographic work, and how through becoming engaged with the process of making, a/r/tographers are in fact practising ways of trusting and imagining in pursuit of what is yet to come.

Keywords: a/r/tography ; art education ; art making ; artistic practice ; artmaking ; artography ; arts-based educational research ; arts-based methodology ; arts-based research ; imagination ; potential ; potentiality ; proposition ; propositional thinking ; trust
