Fostering narratives through arts-based research : A methodological exploration

Culture has been central to societal development for centuries as an experienced-based event, and a catalyst for change. Culture is now recognized as a fourth cornerstone for achieving sustainable development. This paper contributes to the ISDSR Agenda on culture and sustainable development through the lens of qualitative research methods. Specifically, this paper explores methodological possibilities and implications to apply arts-based practice as a dialogic tool to foster multiple narratives, the inclusion of voice, and diversity of perspective contributing to Track 1B.Qualitative researchers continue to push methodological boundaries to study social phenomena. Among the methodological developments is an exploration of the application of the arts. Research methodologists suggest that the arts open new possibilities in research through the very nature of the arts to stimulate and evoke perspectives. The arts promote dialogue which yields new insights; highlights multiple meanings, opens space for diversity, and questions norm-based traditions. The purpose of this paper is to present findings from a duo-ethnography to explore the application of the arts as a dialogic-reflexive process during the data analysis phase in qualitative research. Findings contribute with concrete insights into how science and culture can be combined as a methodological approach to garner perspective and invite voice to achieve sustainable development.
