Abstract

Since its original publication, this article has received tremendous interest on the Intellect website as well as through other platforms. Attending to a/r/tography as practice-based research through stories in motion, the authors explore becoming-artist, becoming-researcher and becoming-teacher as a métissage approach of weaving layered stories alongside and through one another. Together, as co-labourers, the authors enact coming to understand their own as well as their collective learning through processes of practising, theorizing and materializing their work. Permeating these practices is a commitment to emergence as evidenced through a/r/tographic states of intensity, events and movement. The result is an exemplar of a/r/tography with an appeal to many a/r/tographers desiring to experience becoming-a/r/tography and who wish to deeply impact their own art education practices.
