Marble Wit Research restores heart, integrity, and the joy of discovery to arts and science communities.

Marble Wit Research is an artistic and scientific partnership collaborating with researchers in robotics, engineering, and the arts. We are Kaitlyn and Yiğit, with a combined 40 years of practice as researchers in art and science.

Our work may look like project management, arts and cultural policy research, artistic practice, community practice, grant writing, theater, nonprofit management, strategic scientific planning, inventing and patenting, science writing, or cultivating culture in the lab. We may work with you as independent partners on projects related to our technical disciplines in puppetry, theater, robotics, and mechanical engineering. Or we may collaborate with your project of strategic organizing and narrative discovery across your institution and out to your neighboring communities.

Whatever the project, we recognize that any endeavor—intellectual, rational, artistic, emotive—is an experience of love for our humanity, our growth, our empowerment. Keeping this awareness at the heart of our work makes our research different.

Our purpose:

To awaken the original spirit of research — seeking the meaning in creativity and the playful celebration of this process.

We want to hear from you! Do you have questions about about mentorship, the radical sabbatical, research consultation, or something else? Please reach out.
