This paper reflects on the intertwining of artistic research
and pedagogies within the context of a collaborative
project conducted at the University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg. The authors explore the concepts of proximities,
grids and flows, confrontations, and time as entry points into
the space of artistic research. They emphasize the importance
of untethering and foraging, challenging established boundaries
and embracing discomfort as a catalyst for creative growth.
The paper also highlights the significance of proximities and
the relational aspect of artistic research, inviting a communal
and interdisciplinary approach. The authors reflect on their
experiences during the pandemic and the evolving nature of
teaching and learning in relation to time.
