REIMAGINING ARTS-BASED AND COMMUNITY RESEARCH
Who we are
Arte in Spanish means art, but beyond that it means a craft, something that requires a skill, a method, cleverness, and overall passion. This idea, coupled with Artemis, the Greek goddess of hunt and strength, inspired the name of our collective as it means excitement and creativity in research. Artem, focuses on research that centres the will to use arts and creativity into the process to promote healthier, safer spaces with/for strong and resilient communities of research practice.
Our goal
Our purpose is to stimulate empirical work that utilises arts-based research, creativity and collaboration to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable communities in society. Our collective demonstrates that creative methods can transcend the boundaries of disciplines and within disciplines. As a group, we seek to develop holistic perspectives by integrating different theoretical and empirical disciplinary perspectives, thereby creating new frameworks to understand problems for the purposes of developing solutions for a more just world.
