Workshop: Arts-Based and Artistic Research in Migration and Integration
The Arts-Based and Artistic Research in Migration and Integration Workshop, held on May 21-22, 2024, at Malmö University, brought together interdisciplinary scholars and artists to discuss innovative arts-based methodologies in migration and integration studies. Hosted at the Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare (MIM), the workshop emphasized co-creative, participatory, and artistic approaches to research.
Within the field of migration and integration, scholars have increasingly applied arts-based methods and co-creative, participatory, and artistic methodologies in their studies and research with migrants and refugees to create knowledge. This workshop provided an opportunity to exchange experiences, knowledge and expertise. The initiative is aimed to start a meaningful conversation on the value of applying arts-based, practice-based and artistic research within this field, bringing together a group of interdisciplinary scholars and artists both within the humanities and social sciences.
There were short presentations about scholarly work, either ongoing or recently completed, where artist-scholars have applied arts-based, or artistic research methods, from body mapping, comics, drawing, video, performance, visual arts, immersive, theatre or music.
The workshop was a collaborative effort between the School of Arts and Communication (K3), the K3 Artistic and Arts-based Research Group, the Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare (MIM) at Malmö University and the Centre on Global Migration (CGM) and the Academy of Art and Design at Gothenburg University within the framework of the SIPGI project.
