Call for Sessions: On Not Knowing: How Artists Teach

Monday 31 October 2022  
 
How do artists teach in higher education, galleries and beyond, within the current climate? If ‘not knowing’ is crucial to making art, is it also important in the teaching of it? As artist-teachers, what might we learn from each other, and how do artists’ pedagogies change and evolve? 
 
The On Not Knowing: How Artists Teach Conference (9 & 10 June 2023) will share and explore the various approaches, methods and understandings of artists who teach in the field of higher education and beyond. Hosted the Glasgow School of Art, convened in partnership with Uniarts Helsinki’s Academy of Fine Art.
 
Call for Sessions 
 
Calling for proposals (300-word abstracts) to convene 2.5 hour in-person sessions around a theme or area of interest. Proposals can come from groups or individuals (groups working across institutions will be particularly welcome). Proposals for hybrid sessions will be considered based on need, if for example presenting in-person disadvantages a speaker or speakers.
