Participatory Action ResearchArtistic Interventionism
(artists, activists artists as activists & activists as artists)
• The potential and the contribution of participatory arts practice increasingly recognised a means to
• ‘restore the social bonds’ (Ranciere 2006)

• The artist interventionist approach
• Very different from the use of the arts to tackle problematic issues in communities (Matterasso, 1997)
