VacZineNations! is a collaborative artwork led by Rachelle Viader Knowles and Mkrtich Tonoyan, produced by artists, students and designers in the UK, Canada, China and Armenia, and exhibited as part of <Immune Nations> at Galleri KiT in Trondheim, Norway, and UNAIDS in Geneva, Switzerland in 2017. This paper positions the artwork within the context of practice-led research. It outlines the methodological framework of the research process, and further tests the outcomes of the author's PhD thesis A Translocal Approach to Dialogue-based Art (Knowles, 2017), namely a set of ten characteristics that emerge in the work of the translocal artist.
