ABSTRACT

This chapter unfolds a cartography of becoming a/r/tography by describing lines of becoming-intensity, becoming-event, and becoming-movement that entangle across time and place. Describing the lines of intensity, movement, and events that entangle across time and place unfolds a cartography of a/r/tography. A/r/tography is a research methodology, a creative practice, and a performative pedagogy that lives in the rhizomatic practices of the liminal in-between. These in-between spaces of becoming prompt disruption of duelling binaries, conceptions of identities, and the rush to certainty. A team of a/r/tographers worked with artists and students to employ their artistic and pedagogical sensibilities and capabilities in ongoing, community-engaged, dialogic forms of research. Their work seeks to recognize that education and art contribute to the complexity of the world rather than react to it. For educators there is a need to understand what liminal practices might look like, how art educators may embody liminal practices and how liminal communities might be created.
