When Words Fail On Practice Based Art Design and Education Knowledge Through Visual and Material Practice

When Words Fail On Practice Based Art Design and Education explores how art and design practices can generate knowledge when conventional language reaches its limits. This book gathers the work and thoughts of over one hundred artists, designers, and thinkers to ask how images, gestures, forms, and actions can express what words struggle to name. It investigates how visual and material practices can challenge dominant narratives, articulate uncertainty, and offer new ways of understanding experience structurally and critically. The book is an essential read for artists, designers, educators, researchers and anyone curious about how practice‑based research and design can shape new ways of knowing and seeing.
