Registration and attendance to the symposium will receive accreditation from the Professional Development Institute (IDP-ICE) of the University of Barcelona.
Introduction
In the early 1990s, the social turn of the arts (Bishop, 2006) meant their displacement from the gallery or museum towards an expanded field of relational practices where they would adopt, in turn, multiple labels and modalities (socially engaged art, community, contextual, relational, collaborative, etc.). With this twist, the artistic medium becomes the process itself that begins and develops in specific contexts and that seeks to generate sociocultural links or promote the exchange of situated knowledge (Helguera, 2011). In this way, the arts transcend the mere production and appreciation of artistic objects and are oriented towards the creation of new connections, forms of encounter or meanings (O’Donoghue, 2015). Artistic education also distances itself from the teaching of disciplinary techniques, opening itself to experimenting with projects of conviviality or interdependence (Garoian, 2019) that are often located outside the classroom and that use various artistic means to articulate themselves.
In this line of research, the Erasmus+ project Critical Arts Education for Sustainable Societies (CARE/SS), launched in 2021, aims to think about and establish a sustainable pedagogical framework for distance learning of the arts, whether virtual or hybrid (i.e. combining virtual and in-person sessions). Furthermore, it is based on the notion of a learning community and the recognition of the experiential nature linked to the collaborative culture of the arts field. For all these reasons, CARE/SS has organized several distance training courses with primary and secondary teachers on the main notions, strategies and problems of socially engaged arts, focusing on its critical and pedagogical dimension. The last phase of the project is intended to share reflections and experiences, many of which are linked to the social turn of the arts in school and the role that digital technologies have in these practices. Thus, this symposium wants to bring into dialogue contributions regarding the following topics in the school context connected with other environments and communities:
- Artistic practices as drivers of new relationships and meanings.
- The use of digital technologies in artistic education.
- Learning communities between teachers, artists and institutions.
Guide questions:
- What type of displacements take place in artistic practices and in school based on the social turn of the arts?
- How are the limits of the school context and its alliances with other agents and groups redefined through socially committed artistic projects?
- What new ways of teaching and practicing the arts in schools appear with these types of projects?
- What tensions and opportunities are opened by collaboration between schools, teachers, artists and artistic groups or institutions?
- How is the role of digital technologies in artistic and pedagogical projects usually thought of?
- What forms of appropriation or tinkering with digital technology convey socially engaged artistic processes in school?
- How are learning communities organized around the school during and after carrying out artistic projects?
Contributions
The symposium is open to three types of communications:
- Related to research.
- Experience stories.
- Reasoned essays.
All proposals will be evaluated by the scientific committee of the symposium based on their relationship with the topics covered, originality and quality. At the same time, the organization of a monograph based on the symposium is planned. The format of the final text will depend on the conditions of the publication.
Communications can be sent in Catalan, Spanish, and English to esbrina@ub.edu
