This dissertation explores the concept of synthesizing art and science, suggesting that equal collaborations between these fields can yield innovative solutions to contemporary 'Wicked' problems.
It examines artists’ vital role in shaping individuals and societies, emphasizing art as an impactful force that can foster a more inclusive, empathetic world.
Situated within the interdisciplinary domains of socially engaged research, ArtScience, and artistic research, this thesis has a special focus on the synthesis of participatory performance art and social psychology as a methodology that can contribute to intergroup relations. The synthesis of art and science in collaborative ventures offers enormous possibilities for innovative research. Beyond this, it has a multifaceted impact—it can educate, influence, and evoke change in multiple ways.
