Expérimenter les hybridations entre recherche-création et médiation : pour une rencontre entre institutions culturelles et marges

Abstract

As both a socio-cultural and community-based research project, the Inclusive Culture Laboratory, led by the group Exeko (Montreal, Canada), has set up various activities between 2016 and 2019 that combine practices specific to creative research, collaborative ethnography and cultural mediation, Invisible Theater, literary creation, or visual arts. These experiments, as a part of a theoretical approach to critical social epistemology, aimed both to account for the different perspectives of marginalized groups and people involved in the project, and to facilitate the collective construction of knowledge around the access to arts and culture. By adopting the form of a report that is particularly interested in methodological hybridization, this article proposes some lines of reflection and transversal action to guide participatory research projects as well as cultural and community action.
