Rupert is pleased to invite you to The Gathering of Alternative Art Education as part of the final events of the Alternative Education Programme. This event aims to provide space to share knowledge, experience, and insights about the current state and possible futures of art education.
During the gathering, all three concepts – alternative, art, and education, as well as their connections will be subjected to the transdisciplinary inquiry. The invited speakers will raise questions and share their experience on knowledge sharing not bounded by one discipline or strict taxonomies. During the two-day event, practitioners and theoreticians will invite to step beyond dominant frameworks and will make proposals for a better understanding of art education.
Gathering – a term borrowed from philosopher Bruno Latour reflecting the ever-changing world and relationships that constitute us within the world. This gathering does not seek for a hierarchies-driven illusion of objectivity. Instead, it suggests togetherness that stems for matters of concerts rather than matters of fact. By admitting socio-political, historical and cultural entanglements, the event opens up spaces to think about new forms of education and being together.
Rupert invites theoreticians, researchers, and practitioners representing different approaches and methodologies to participate in this event, as well as those currently looking for alternatives to dominant educational structures. We hope that the gathering and subsequent events will encourage explorations of alternative ways to share knowledge, regardless of age, background, or current occupation.
