Connections Between Art-making, Research and Education
Verónica Soria Martínez, assistant professor, Curriculum and Instruction
This presentation explores the work of contemporary artists whose practices reside at the intersection of art-making, research, and education. We will see how some artists use research to expose the issues impacting a given collective and then use their art-making to create resources that educate the larger community and seek to transform their immediate reality. Likewise, we will analyze how educators use contemporary art strategies in their classes to create art with their students, dissolving the boundaries between art and education, and how these experiences can be used as case studies to keep informing their ongoing work.
Lectures will be held on Mondays at 3 p.m. in the Olm Fellowship Hall of Fairhaven Senior Services, 435 West Starin Road, Whitewater. They are open to the public. Registration is not required. Masks may be required in common areas at Fairhaven Senior Services. Please be prepared on arrival. Lectures will be recorded and posted to our website and YouTube channel. Videos of lectures in this series and in past series can be accessed for free any time after they are posted online.
