The third iteration of Making Matters presents aspects of interdisciplinary practice and research activities in the creative arts, by staff in London Metropolitan University, under the umbrella of CREATURE (The Centre for Creative Arts, Cultures and Engagement).

Making is an integral aspect for comprehending research. Derived from the Latin com- (together) and prehendere (to grasp), to comprehend suggests a hands-on engagement which involves physical/material properties and incidences of action, the literal grasping of stuff which is steered by ‘what happens if …’ scenarios.

Making communicates in ways that language cannot. Not yet knowing, wrestling with the ‘almost there’ or ‘almost visible’ are vital stages of the research process. This state of rawness and vulnerability is a valuable pedagogical tool, which guides not only the participants’ research but also their teaching within and across the various disciplines represented in Making Matters 3.0.

Making matters is curated by Simone ten Hompel
