ABOUT ──────── MATERIAL: PEDAGOGY: FUTURE

Material:Pedagogy:Future is a research network that questions the future of HE Art education. 

Through inter-institutional dialogue and collaboration, we seek to establish an international network of transdisciplinary, practice-based researchers dedicated to querying our positions and agencies as artist-teachers in contributing to the form and context of the art of tomorrow.

By examining the hierarchies, systems, and relations which form its present, we engage in practice and theory based research to critique and develop greater understanding around the function of HE art education from the current and future manifestations of what is defined as an ‘art school’ in relation to broader social, cultural and economic ecosystems.

An inter-institutional research network, Material:Pedagogy:Future is co-convened by colleagues at Bath School of Art, Film & Media, Bath Spa University; Kingston School of Art, Kingston University London;  and University of Bergen. 

By establishing a wide network of researchers across multiple institutions, we hope to enable discussions to emerge from a space in-between our respective institutional contexts, and in which we are enabled to navigate new art-based methodologies for teaching-as-practice and practice-as-research that could exist in a speculative alternative.
