Art as a System of Knowledge: Arts-Integrated Inquiry in Scholarly and Professional Discourse
LIMITED

Limited Capacity seats available
The Bahá’í teachings affirm the harmony of science and religion as essential to humanity’s progress. Experience increasingly suggests that art also functions as a system of knowledge, generating insight through perception, imagination, embodiment, and collective meaning-making. This session explores how artistic inquiry contributes to scholarly, professional, and community learning. Using Arts-Integrated Creativity Training (ACT) as a conceptual framework, participants examine how artistic processes complement rational analysis and support rigorous, collaborative knowledge generation through active engagement and consultation.
