How It Works
Are you a researcher or strategic planner interested in arts-based processes but seeking facilitation or artistic expertise? Let’s collaborate! We believe in building knowledge from the ground up. While traditional questionnaires can feel limiting or intrusive, arts-based methods allow participants to express their full humanity. Together, we’ll co-design a platform that engages participants in shaping questions, messages, and narratives to bring your research vision to life in a transparent, cohesive and inclusive way.🌟
