Re­flec­tions based on a par­tic­i­pa­tive re­search process

Based on experiences in the participative co-research-process of Art.School.Differences, an ongoing research and development project at Swiss art schools, this article questions if and how marginalizing and normalizing structures of inclusion and exclusion in the field of art schools can be successfully identified and re-worked. By outlining negotiations and by tracing interventions into the co-research-process by different players this article provides an insight into areas of conflict and power relations inscribed in the project.
