title = "Negotiating boundaries: reflections on the ethics of arts-based and artistic research in care contexts",
abstract = "Arts-based practice and research in care has increased significantly. There is a need to examine the ethical issues arising from this complex phenomenon, conceptualised as boundary work. Method: To support interdisciplinary understanding in artistic and arts-based work, we collaboratively explored three arts-based research projects implemented in diverse care and healthcare contexts. The ethical issues related to boundary work were negotiated through reciprocal, in-depth reflection. Results: Arts-based and artistic research allows embodied, sensitive, and sensible encounters to emerge, in which the boundaries between artistic agency, professional positions, and even notions of evidence may be challenged. The notion of vulnerability emerges as a central ethical feature of boundary work. Conclusions: Articulating ethical concerns in artistic-pedagogic boundary work and research can promote a more nuanced understanding of power relations in cross-sectoral practices. It may help develop services that support the agency and holistic well-being of individuals and communities.",

note = "Funding Information: This work was supported by the ArtsEqual Research Initiative funded by the Academy of Finland{\textquoteright}s Strategic Research Council (n:o 314223/2017); and Experience and Demarcation research project funded by the Kone Foundation (n:o 201710524). As the first multi-year arts-based research project supported by the Strategic Research Council of the Academy of Finland, ArtsEqual is unique. Along with prestige, research council funding creates expectations of accountability. As ArtsEqual researchers and project facilitators, and through our own individual careers, we have witnessed the potential of art and art education to enhance well-being and support social justice. We also have acknowledged how the underlying epistemologies of different disciplines shape choices related to why, within theories and methodologies; and how, within procedures and practices, research is conducted and assessed.
