Formed in 2005, fugitivespaces undertakes research and development in the arts and education. fugitivespaces is particularly concerned with the idea of research as practice and the interface between art practice, education and community development. By undertaking research into existing projects as well as initiating new programmes of research and development, fugitivespaces aims to develop understanding of diverse modes, forms and sites of production of art and education within a range of social spaces, and how these might interface more meaningfully with the diverse conditions of a range of communities. Through involvement at the early stages, fugitivespaces aims to develop research that operates alongside practice, unpacking artists’ processes in order to open up different kinds of understanding.
