Acts of creation as a living process within academic research

This article presents multiple creation processes experienced during the research process for a master’s thesis. It proposes to instigate innovation in research and academic documentation, showing the relevance of articulation between art, writing and care in the context of health professional training and education and knowledge production. It intends to give visibility to cartographic research, which asserts itself as a process of creation in itself, generating objects that mediate the connection between the researcher and the field of research, enabling him or her to create a deeper bond with the theme and the encounters that are intrinsic to the study. The data were collected during workshops involving bodily, oral, and written expression practices and the creation of a group work of art, an e-book made up of texts written by the participants, and an object book, materializing the transformation of scientific research into art-based research.
