The first volume of holt, a peer reviewed journal and a meeting place for sharing artistic and practice-led research, a space for generating conversations, and supporting the transition between making and disseminating, is now online. The journal was co-founded by Slade alumnae (PhD) Dana Ariel, Sarah Fortais & Dawn Gaietto. 

The papers included in this issue focus on the exploration and development of diverse creative arts research methodologies. In this publication they aim to share not only the outcomes of artistic research but the processes, reflections and methodologies through which these outcomes emerged.

Please visit the holt journal website to view the full issue.
