Abstract

In diesem Tagungsbericht stellen wir den 1. "Carnival of Invention" vor, der vom Collaborative Poetics Network am 15. Juni 2018 an der University of Brighton, England, ausgerichtet wurde. Kollaborative Poetik ist ein kunstbasiertes Verfahren, bei dem Künstler/innen, Akademiker/innen und Lai/innen zusammenarbeiten und ihr Wissen miteinander mit dem Ziel sozialer Veränderungen austauschen. Während des Carnival nahmen über 40 Beitragende aus unterschiedlichsten Ländern an Workshops, Präsentationen, Installationen usw. teil. In diesem Beitrag stellen wir die behandelten Themen und die in interaktiven und empirischen Sessions genutzten Medien vor. Wir zeigen, in welcher Weise die Veranstaltung durch die Entwicklung, Analyse und Kommunikation reicher Datensets zur Veranschaulichung der Benefits kunstbasierter Verfahren beigetragen hat und enden mit einer abschließenden Reflektion und Evaluation des Events.
