Abstract
Bridges are important as they offer a safe passage to travellers, forge new networks, and enable connections that may not have been possible to sustain without their supportive structure. Visual methods can be seen as a metaphorical bridge, moving beyond the dominance of text based forms to engage diverse communities, enable the sharing of stories and perspectives, fight familiarity, and encourage collaboration and change. In this talk, I reflect on some of my engagements with visual and creative research methods, thinking through aspects of design, data production, analysis, dissemination – and the potential for increasing impact through films, artwork, music, and participatory and co-produced multimodal materials. In sharing the ways in which I followed directions, encountered obstacles and forged bridges, I hope to communicate the learning in these processes, and the ethical tensions, limitations and affordances of these visual viaducts, tricky tightropes and creative crossings.
