The Creative Research Ethics Workshop

“There is no intrinsic good or evil. The ethical value of an action is what it brings out in the situation, for its transformation… Ethics is about how we inhabit uncertainty, together.”

— Brian Massumi

The Creative Research Ethics Workshop (CREW) is an ethics-in-action collaboration involving creative practice researchers from multiple universities. Through a call for Expressions of Interest the group formed to explore relationships between ethics and creative practice research.

Starting in August 2016 with a two-day intensive workshop, the group continued and expanded through a month of weekly gatherings inside the Occupied exhibition at RMIT’s Design Hub, leading to a series of contributions to the iDARE conference, including an exhibition, workshop/performative events and a conference bag/kit.

We started with questions such as: What if the development of ethical expertise was approached as an integral part of creative practice research? How best might we tailor a process of creative, ethical deliberation? And, could this help leverage an enduring cultivation of ethical know-how?

Practitioners opened up their practices for discussion and explicated their approaches to a range of challenging, delicate and thought provoking issues. We developed a set of shared understandings about the intrinsic collectivity of ethics, the importance of slow negotiations of difference and situated particularities, the value of face-to-face dialogue as part of ethical deliberation, and how an ethical disposition might evolve through cultivations of enchantment.

The CREW stems from the project: Developing new approaches to ethics and research integrity training through challenges posed by Creative Practice Research (or iDARE). Support for this project has been provided by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching. The views in this project do not necessarily reflect the views of the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching.

To me, ethics in creative research should accept and respect difference, and acknowledge that difference is everywhere. Importantly, this should occur via slow negotiations of difference through ongoing dialogue between all involved in a project. read more...

JULIANA ESPAÑA KELLER

Juliana seeks to expose the heterogeneous character of artistic production to ask: Who really are the stake holders of the work of art itself? The modalities of its reception? How do we derive an ethical stake from the vast heterogeneousrelations within the spheres of micro-community?. read more...

The how of anything we do is integral to an ethical disposition; I am fascinated by the tacit, almost ineffable connection between ethics and qualities of disposition – such as manner, attention, and openness. read more...
