Supervisors' seminar - Ethics in indigenous and non-Eurocentric Artistic practices
→ Venue
The seminar dives deeper into the theme from the panel debate at Artistic Research Autumn Forum 2025: Over the past couple of decades, research ethics has gained considerably more attention in artistic research — and in research more broadly. Once only addressed sporadically and unsystematically, research ethics is now an obligatory part of the training component for all PhD candidates in artistic research in Norway. Supervisors are required to provide their candidates with guidance on ethical issues, and institutions must ensure that both staff and students receive necessary training in research ethics.
In parallel with this development, an increasing number of artistic researchers in Norway are engaging with or drawing on Indigenous practices and non- Eurocentric methods, whether in dance, theatre, performance art, or music. How do different Indigenous and non-Eurocentric practices approach what researchers in European academic traditions refer to as research ethics — or simply ethics? How are similar and different topics conceptualised and verbalised? How can artistic research remain attentive to, and learn from, the philosophical frameworks of different practices including Indigenous and non-Eurocentric practices?
