Welcome
Kimberly Baker is an interdisciplinary artist who practices a/r/tography, which is a research methodology, a creative practice and a performative pedagogy that explores the relationships of the in-between. Kimberly investigates themes of humanity and the environment. During her research process she discovers the interlocking relationships that occur between these convergences. Kimberly reflects upon these meanings and then transforms them into visual understandings. Her aim is to communicate with the viewer, whereby she asks them to reflect upon contemporary issues that impact them in the everyday and have a cumulative force on our collective future.

National Art Education Association (NAEA) Conference: March 7-10, 2013 in Fort Worth, Texas, USA
PRESENTATION: A/r/tography as Intervention
A/r/tographers distinguish themselves from other arts-based researchers by using the intersecting identities of artist, researcher and teacher to inform and articulate their work through shared inquiry (Irwin, 2004). In this presentation, Kimberly Baker, Heidi May and Natalie LeBlanc focus on the NAEA strategic goals of learning and community, and present case studies that utilize art intervention strategies to promote community learning. They will discuss how the a/r/tography community can use interventions to advance visual arts education.
