Workshop
The workshop will be predominantly interactive and experiential. Please bring an example of your own art or favorite artwork if you are not a practising artist.
After exploring the Jungian Arts-Based Research paradigm for making new knowledge, we will enact and perform the epistemology of the image by way of active imagination and amplification. You may wish to bring or describe samples of your own art (in any media) to be re-framed in JABR. We will also make use of Jung’s ‘psychological’ and ‘visionary’ modes as ways of researching the psyche of audiences for art. A look at how and why arts-based research academia have adopted Jung’s The Red Book as a pioneer example will be offered alongside a fragment of the epic, ‘The Nuclear Enchantment of New Mexico.’ Both works undo the subject/object split that has created a paralyzing cultural complex. Above all, Jungian arts-based research is a treatment for the chaotic poisoning of the collective psyche by shadow material magnified by split off social media. The feminine consciousness of JABR is one of the most practical, economical and dynamic modes of Jung’s work in the twentyfirst century.
