A one-day symposium exploring practice-led research as a vital mode of knowledge production

Bringing together HDR candidates, artists, academics and researchers from across Sydney’s arts institutions, this symposium will consider how artistic practice operates as a method of research. It asks what kinds of knowledge can only emerge through practice, and how artistic methods challenge, expand or reframe conventional research paradigms.

The program will include a keynote presentation delivered by Professor Barbara Bolt, and a panel discussion with leading scholars and practitioners from UNSW, NAS, UTS and SCA. The symposium will end with a shared lunch and networking session.

Convened by Isobel Markus-Dunworth and Bronte Cormican Jones.
