This international seminar, “Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Art Pedagogy: Traditions, Transformations and Futures,” seeks to bring together scholars, artists, and educators from around the world to engage in critical discussions on the evolving practices of art pedagogy. It will address how cultural exchange, intercultural dialogue, indigenous traditions, and global educational policies influence art teaching. By situating art pedagogy at the intersection of tradition and transformation, the seminar aims to explore the future trajectories of art education in diverse contexts.
Through lectures, paper presentations, workshops, and dialogues, the seminar will examine how cross-cultural perspectives foster inclusivity, innovation, and holistic learning in art pedagogy.
