Exhibition Methodology
"ARTOGRAPHY"
According to scholar, Rita L. Irwin (2022), A/r/tography is the practice of exploring the world through a continuous process of creating art and writing. The two mediums are interconnected, weaving together to create enhanced meanings. A/r/tographical work is guided by concepts such as living inquiry, metaphor/metonymy, and excess, embodied in the exchanges between art and text. While a/r/tography is about self-expression, it is also social. Groups of a/r/tographers come together to engage in shared inquiries and present their collective works to others.
