What is it about?
Monothematic and uni-dimensional approaches to research are delimiting, and miss much in developing understanding based on lived experience. The arts have a powerful role to play in increasing engagement with, inquiry into, expression of, and capacity for life. Accordingly this article explores how a multithematic and multi-dimensional approach was enabled by a festival framework as a methodological approach to research. The strength and limitations of the methodological approach is discussed revealing its possibilities.
