Arts, Culture & Law
Cluster Overview
This new cluster brings together researchers engaging with arts and culture either in direct collaboration with artists, as a methodology or as an object of study. Some colleagues look at the role of law in protecting or regulating the arts - from cultural heritage and contested historical ownership, to intellectual property rights, or blockchain technology and digital platforms in selling music. Others are interested in the intersections of arts, culture and law: whether Caribbean culture and history is or should be represented in visual anti-trafficking campaigns; how the police use arts and culture to engage with seldom-heard communities; how architectures of justice affect or reflect judicial ethics. Many colleagues also draw on arts and culture methodologies in their research - working directly with artists, or using storytelling, creative writing or other creative methodologies as part of their research.
