ABSTRACT
By means of introduction, we recall the profound changes precipitated by the global pandemic. These have become highlighted as our lives, which largely function through the logic of consumerism, have had to be reconfigured. We further provide an overview of art-based research, explore the novel possibilities it has gained and the constraints that it has faced in the context of the pandemic, and discuss how art-based research can illuminate the (post) pandemic world. Lastly, we introduce the chapters in this book, pointing to the synergies and divergences amongst them.
