This is a shared conversation on the connections between Indigenous Practice Research and Creative Practice Research, reflecting on the understanding that ‘relationships do not merely shape reality, they are reality’ (Wilson, 2008), expanding on themes of: relevance, respect, and refusal; ethics, aspirations and futures.
N’arwee’t Briggs, Brian Martin and James Oliver are currently working on a publication collaboration informed by these themes and broader reflections on their research collaborations, some of which will also inform this conversation.
