This workshop offers an introduction to the role of display in cross-disciplinary artistic research, including visual arts, design, curating, filmmaking, to name but a few. The seminar will ask questions such as How can the research component of practice research be exposed and made manifest, rather than described and illustrated? What is the role of text in doctoral research? And where does the practice component live in the final submission? Is writing an opportunity to describe practice; or is it the extension of practice through the means of writing? During the seminar we will ask these questions in order to explore the diversity of approaches to exposition and writing in artistic research. The seminar will present some examples of doctoral dissertations on practice research, which, while not an exhaustive list, will provide a common ground for further discussion within the group.

This artist and curator conversation delves into "Mishandled Archive": a publication resulting from Tara Fathei's now-completed PhD at the University of Roehampton (UK).
Mishandled Archive is a cross-disciplinary project challenging our understanding of history, personal archives, and itinerancy through participatory dance, photography, social media, site-specific art, storytelling, and performance. In her PhD, Tara proposed mishandling as a method to engage with archives through multivocality, pyromania, mythology, and web-archaeography.
Led by Alessandra Cianetti, the conversation will focus on Tara's playful research methodology and artistic practice, exploring the interwoven layers of personal and historical narratives she encountered from PhD to publication, and how her doctoral studies have influenced her practice and work.
TT students are welcome to bring their questions and experience working with archives, multi-disciplinary practices, and personal journeys across art and academia.
