Abstract

This article charts a collaborative and multimodal inquiry practice between a professor and a doctoral student who met during a visual methods course, Doing Visual Research With Children and Youth. Our collaboration focused on blurring the border between art making and research as a means to analyze and re-represent photographs taken by children. In stepping outside our comfort zones as researchers, we shared the same preoccupation: How much creative/artistic license would we exert regarding our use of the children’s photographs? This article explores the making of a video montage in ways that created new ways of seeing and knowing that took us by surprise and helped us rethink the interplay between methodological and ethical imperatives. We hope the article invites other professors and students to fashion collaborations that support such creative experimentation and reflection.
