Contemporary art allows us to question and reflect in an activist, poetic, and metaphoric way upon daily life social and political actions, and to respond to current paradigms by using hybrid performative techniques of communication and questioning. Research methodologies used in the Arts align to this contemporaneity close to the current reality and present new routes/methods related to the investigator’s creative process. The a/r/tography represented here is an agglutinating concept of artistic processes from the artist/investigator and teacher, who claims a practice closer to a collaborative and participative Art Education. This text is a dialogue between an exemplar of an a/r/tographic project and its emancipating, activist and ethical characteristics.
