University of the Arts Helsinki | RUUKU Call for Contributions
RUUKKU – Studies in Artistic Research invites new contributions for the Issue ARTIST PEDAGOGY.
They invite artist pedagogue researchers to explore and share their pedagogical experiences, philosophies, and practices. They are interested in artistic thinking as a base for teaching and how teacher’s own artistic practice affects their teaching. Artistic thinking is often embodied, sensory, situated, and symbolic, based on experiences and pre-linguistic thinking. It assembles different kinds of connections and approaches and moves in between the conscious and the unconscious. Artistic thinking and practice are positional and also political; co-social values and an orientation towards the future are part of contemporary artist pedagogy.
How does an artist teach and research? How does artistic thinking work as a starting point for pedagogy, and how is it realised in practice? How does making art feed teaching, and correspondingly, how does pedagogical philosophy serve as inspiration for teaching practices? How is artist pedagogy related to social and ecological issues?
Expositions in this issue may address (but are not limited to) the following topics:
- Artist pedagogical explorations and practices in different fields of art such as performing arts, fine arts, music, or (creative) writing
- Approaches of critical and feminist pedagogy in teaching art
- Intersections of environmental and artist pedagogy
- Artistic thinking in developing pedagogical methods
- Collective forms of artist pedagogy
