    Bassam El Baroni:     More-than-complex objects of research and the limits of criticality 
    The talk first explains philosopher Anne-Françoise Schmid's 'generic epistemology' and its core concept of the 'integrative object'. It then discusses how this can be useful to further approaches trapped within the critical gestures of conceptual and post-conceptual art. What can we learn from this generative epistemology to push our research further?  

    Eva Border: Critical Thinking or the Performativity of Knowledge
    How does artistic research produce knowledge? The examination of chronic pain as my "X" object through artistic research allows for creating a new understanding of this phenomenon within the contemporary context. 


    Astrid Huopalainen: Working Together...
    Working together – Navigating in a complex, messy, and moving world urges us to propose research questions and practices that are critical-creative, experimental, open-ended, transdisciplinary, and engage with multiple ways of knowing. In her talk, Dr. Huopalainen discussed cross-and multidisciplinary approaches from her own positionality and perspective of being in a liminal space on a shared position between two Departments. Understanding research as relation-building processes 'with' mutliple thers, she discussed how research theorizes and produces practice at the same time.

    Kirsi Manninen: Who am I
    A review of her research and thesis work in the context of costume design.
