SCOPE OF THE SEMINAR
The scope of this seminar extends across diverse dimensions of art pedagogy, including visual arts, performing arts, music, theatre, dance, and interdisciplinary practices. It encompasses both theoretical frameworks and practical approaches, engaging with the cultural, philosophical, and socio-political aspects of art education.
It invites contributions from fields such as education, cultural studies, art history, aesthetics, digital humanities, and performance studies. The seminar will focus not only on pedagogy within academic institutions but also on community-based art practices, indigenous teaching models, and cross-cultural collaborations that contribute to a more inclusive and pluralistic understanding of art education.
