Finding CreativeVoice: Applying Arts-Based Research in the Context of Biodiversity Conservation

Abstract: The integration of creative arts-based methods into scientific research offers a host of advantages, including the ability to capture the complex texture of lived experience, explore interconnections between nature and culture, support nonhierarchical relations, and communicate insights in engaging and empowering new ways. In this article, we describe a new method-CreativeVoice-integrating the creative arts and qualitative research, which we developed and applied in a context of pursuing community-based conser… Show more

“…Undoubtedly, more empirical research is needed to help foster our understanding of such 'chains of leverage' (Fischer and Riechers 2019), but when extending the scope from human-nature connectedness to a broader environmental sustainability context, several studies support the idea that arts-based research could facilitate these different types of changes in a system (e.g. De Groot and Zwaal 2007; Zurba and Berkes 2014; Heras and Tàbara 2016; Rathwell and Armitage 2016;Johansson and Isgren 2017;Lopez et al 2018;Goris et al 2019).…”

“…It is argued that sustainability science needs to become more sensory. Beyond pioneering works in sustainability science, which explore the potential of arts for sustainable development [7][8][9][10] or ideas of mindfulness [11], this article presents conceptual and methodological considerations for sensory sustainability science, which are based on insights from the sociology of senses and sensory studies [12], practice theory [13] and theories of atmosphere [14] and resonance [15], sensory ethnography [16] and arts-based research [17]. Thus, the article pursues the goal of building a bridge between sustainability science and theories and methodological perspectives from neighbouring social sciences and humanities.…”

“…In our case, the participatory process and the self-reflections about the value of maize encouraged participants to look upon themselves as guardians of native maize. This was particularly evident in Apostol, where participants decided to form a group to take action and called themselves the 'warriors of maize ' (Rivera Lopez et al 2018).…”

“…We clearly saw that the artworks encouraged people to talk and share their knowledge, experiences and stories of native maize and contributed to a friendly and relaxed atmosphere during the focus group discussions. Images presented in drawings, embroideries, paintings and photographs proved to be powerful visual tools for triggering memories and reflections among the participants during the focus groups and the broader community meetings, helping members to recognize their history as portrayed in the artworks and to evaluate losses and gains as seen through historical changes in their communities over time (Rivera Lopez et al 2018). In Apostol, the wall mural painted in the main street of the community stayed beyond the life of the project as a constant reminder of the important role played by native maize in their history and cultural identity, as well as the threats to conservation being posed by non-native seeds and industrialized agricultural systems (Fig.…”
