In this talk Brice introduces artistic methodologies as research approaches that generate knowledge through creative, embodied, and collaborative practice — showing how they help researchers, civil servants, and social practitioners address complex, real-world challenges.
Brice provides the case example of 'Hidden Cities: Artistic Methodologies and Practices' (University College Cork, December 2025) - a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) bringing together fifteen staff and eighty postgraduate students from twelve European universities. The programme connects across human and social sciences, with participants exploring the city as a living laboratory, using artistic methodologies to design and enact socially engaged urban interventions that bridge theory, creative practice, and civic transformation. The talk is available as resource to playback in the Gallery below.
This session was one of three Lightning Bites on 'Creative Sectors and Engaging Artistic Methods in the Post-Industrial City' that took place 27-29 October 2025 and was attended by 68 participants from across UNIC.
