Milieux Institute

[NEW BLOG POST]  As the Hexagram Interdisciplinary Encounters are in full swing and the Research(-)Creation CREAT Symposium is coming up, our storyteller Nadia Trudel sat down with Lília Mestre, co-director of LePARC, to discuss her "Co-Learning Score for Artistic Research" initiative. "Co-Learning Score for Artistic Research" is a slow, horizontal research practice that unfolds through biweekly encounters, guiding questions, and collective inquiry. Part performance, part proposition: each session invites students and faculty to share work-in-process, sparking a recursive exchange between making and thinking, form and concept, subjectivity and collectivity.
