Abstract

Arts-related research uses an aesthetic dimension to interrupt, disrupt, and create space for discussions about dominant discourses in research and practice. It does this in ways that other research approaches do not, enabling studies to be conducted and received by new and diverse audiences beyond the academic, promoting democratized knowledge and knowledge production. In investigating and theorizing what it means to do arts-related research the use of appropriate languages and processes are required to denote what is being done differently. This paper presents a ‘Model of Rendering, Portrayal and Praxis’; which we suggest is not only a means of supporting researchers new to the field of arts-related research, but also ensures that arts-related research does justice to those involved.
