Description research programme of the research group:

The crisis in education

AeCT proposes a radical re-thinking of the matrices of learning and education and takes creativity as a point of departure. It thereby challenges the historically formed concepts of schools and disciplines in a society in transition. It proposes to curate a new educational turn with art and art education as its core.

The role of the artist educator

The Artist Educators is a creative activist who uses her/his creative and artistic practice to enable social changes. Artist educators can be of major importance to create new (non) institutional structures that make strategic/tactical interventions possible to construct infrastructures, processes, practices that support the idea of educators as agents of change  for equitable societies.

Envisaged results:

4 interdisciplinary seminars each year; 1 collective edited Book (Valiz 2022); grant applications; artistic research projects; further collaboration with several academic and non-academic partners.

Workplan and time schedule:

The group will work together for the next four years (2020-2024). Alongside the envisaged results, the group participants will collaborate to prepare expert meetings, reading groups, conferences and other events connected to the research group mission. If you want to join the reading group, please contact F.Camuti@ArtEZ.nl
