The challenge brought to the forefront of arts-based research in human contexts is to value and constantly re-examine the relationship between the storyteller and the listener, and between the knower and the knowledge. Daria Akimenko’s study attempts at mapping a research field where the complexity of identities, narratives, contexts, places, and practices is embraced rather than simplified. It employs arts-based and reflexive approaches to research, working in a landscape of six global communities of place and practice and aiming at academic, artistic and general public audiences.
