What is N(ArT)URE?
N(ArT)URE is a post-human research approach that aims to immerse people in art and nature, improve social connections and well-being, and engage participants in research.
Additionally, N(ArT)URE uses a participatory research-creation approach whereby participants are also considered part of the team; participants have the opportunity to develop the research questions and tools, interpret the data, and contribute to knowledge translation of the findings.

What do we do?
We offer art workshops to people and engage them in collaborative arts-based, and research-creation projects on a topic of their choosing.
We co-design research with community partners, artists, and young people in an inclusive and equitable manner.

What is the purpose of N(ArT)URE?
This study aims to document the N(ArT)URE approach, including its impact on the social connectedness and well-being of participants, and to understand if using art and nature is a good way to talk about what matters to people.
The goal of this project is to empower participants to engage in research on a topic that is meaningful to them. The knowledge generated through this study will provide insights into the experiences of people and provide information about the use of the N(ArT)URE methodology to promote equity, inclusion, and well-being among these individuals.
