Abstract

This contribution is based on the twelve-year experience developed within the framework of the Master’s Degree in Artistic Production (MaPAvisual), within the Autonomous University of the State of Morelos in Mexico. The article examines the tension between the concept of research and artistic practice. Given the hegemony of traditional scientific research models that have historically questioned the importance of art as a legitimate form of knowledge generation, we propose moving towards the notion of artistic inquiry, as a conceptual and epistemic alternative in accordance with the specificity of creative processes.
