Making Routes – exploring creative mobilities

This site is an online resource for researchers and practitioners who are on the move: using journeys in creative or challenging ways; forging new paths through troubled places; or travelling experimentally with art and ideas.

Making Routes is an art-research project that has been convened by Laura Bissell (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) and David Overend (University of Edinburgh) since 2011.

The website gathers our blogs, publications and artworks, and brings our work into dialogue with others working in this dynamic field.

Laura Bissell is a performance-researcher, writer, and arts educator based in Glasgow. She has published five books and her poetry, creative writing and research features in journals and anthologies. Laura’s creative projects and research interests include: technology, ecology, interdisciplinarity, matrescence, feminism and performance and journeys. She is an Athenaeum Research Fellow at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

David Overend is a researcher in interdisciplinary education, art and performance. He is currently working with Edinburgh Futures Institute at the University of Edinburgh as director of the undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies. David’s arts practice includes various modes, methods and media, but has often been as a performer and director. (website)
