Although some a\/r\/tographers utilize traditional modes of data-gathering methods, such as interviews, transcripts, and field notes, not all practices of a\/r\/tography refer to the recording or collection of ideas as \u201cdata,\u201d and if they do, they are used in combination with, or in relation to, art-making, creative writing, or performance. As an arts-based methodology grounded in the physicality of making and creating, a\/r\/tography is situated outside traditional research structures. It is framed by a continual process of questioning where understandings are not predetermined and where artistic contexts, materials, and processes create transformative events, interactive spaces in which the reader\/viewer\/audience can co-create in meaning-making. In short, a\/r\/tography is an arts-based form of inquiry that disrupts standardized criteria of research while evoking and provoking alternate possibilities for understanding.&#8221; &#8211; Rita Irwin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LeBlanc, N., &amp; Irwin, R.&nbsp;&nbsp;A\/r\/tography. <em>Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education.<\/em>&nbsp;Retrieved 17 Jan. 2022, from https:\/\/oxfordre.com\/education\/view\/10.1093\/acrefore\/9780190264093.001.0001\/acrefore-9780190264093-e-393.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;To be engaged in the practice of a\/r\/tography means to inquire in the world through an ongoing process of art-making in any artform and writing not separate or illustrative of each other but interconnected and woven through each other to create additional and\/or enhanced meanings. A\/r\/tographical work are often rendered through the methodological concepts of contiguity, living inquiry, openings, metaphor\/metonymy, reverberations and excess which are enacted and presented\/performed when a relational aesthetic inquiry condition is envisioned as embodied understandings and exchanges between art and text, and between and among the broadly conceived identities of artist\/researcher\/teacher. A\/r\/tography is inherently about self as artist\/researcher\/teacher yet it is also social when groups or communities of a\/r\/tographers come together to engage in shared inquiries, act as critical friends, articulate an evolution of research questions, and present their collective evocative\/provocative works to others.&#8221; &#8211; Rita L.
