Research happens in a myriad of spaces and in a myriad of ways. Creative and artist research encourages innovation, sustained collaboration, co-creation, and inter/trans-disciplinary or hybrid practice.
With the event series ‘Methodologies,’ we brought together researchers, practitioners, and creatives, all who create new knowledge through the interrogation/disruption of archives. Through this programme we encourage you to engage with our collections in new and innovative ways, explore the possibilities for creative collaborations, and consider methodologies and practices that reach beyond traditional academic practice and outputs.
If you have any questions about Methodologies, please email research@nationalarchives.gov.uk.
