The Special Interest Group Arts, Economics & Management Crossings was initiated in 2019 following the Zurich SAR Conference.
The contemporary world requires us to build new forms of value that can be shared among humans on the one hand and between humans and other-than-humans on the other hand.
This urgency is patent in the reflections of several trends among which "décroissance" movement (or degrowth), ecocriticism, ecofeminism, care, decolonial studies…
How does artistic research and practice can contribute to rework, repair, reconfigure building and using all sorts of knowledge?
How the knowledge secreted from fields as economics, strategy and organisation theory can be reinvested into creative reworking?
Attempts, failures, weaving and sharing experimentation are now essential.
The first in-person workshop was held in Nantes, june 2024 around the figure of Ivan Illich and his notion of counter-research.
The output of this workshop can be found below.
