Learning Group 25/26
Inscripcions Obertes!This is an EART programme that aims to create a study group made up of artists, curators, teachers and cultural agents to jointly rethink the practice of mediation through art and education. This group, which is educational in nature, addresses a specific topic each year and is designed around different teaching units led by a mentor with professional experience, in which three case studies are examined.
Course 25/26:
[CULTURAL POLICIES]
In this course, we will examine cultural policies from different perspectives and at different levels. We will consider them as a responsibility of the state, and we will also review the policies that articulate culture from less institutional spaces. The central proposal is organised around the question of justice, to investigate whether it is possible to think about the future and present of cultural policies guided by an ‘ethical compass’ that accompanies us in a personal, collective and social transformation. We will seek to ensure that our reflective work can raise proposals, create tools, or speculate on ways to reduce harm.
[Mentoring]
