Keynote speech - Valorising Artistic Research: Whose Responsibility Is It? - Heloisa Amaral
Valorising Artistic Research: Whose Responsibility Is It? – Heloisa Amaral
Moderated by Paul Craenen (EPARM WG)
What does it mean to valorise artistic research in music, and who carries that responsibility? As an artist researcher, music festival director, teacher and listener, I find myself navigating different expectations across these roles. There is a common assumption that artistic research must open up, step out of the confines of the academic world, reach broader audiences, demonstrate relevance. But is it always the responsibility of artist-researchers to make that move? I will reflect on how different forms of value are negotiated in artistic research, and how the needs and expectations of artists, academia, presenting institutions, audiences and funders meet, shift or come into tension with one another.
Heloisa Amaral is a Brazilian pianist, curator, and researcher known for her work at the intersection of performance, contemporary music, and artistic research. She lectures in curatorial practices at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague and holds a doctorate in artistic research from the Orpheus Institute and Leiden University. As a performer, Amaral plays solo and with Ensemble neoN and Duo Hellqvist/Amaral. Since 2023, she has been the director of Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival.
