Lernziele / KompetenzenCollaborate in a transcultural environment with people from different
backgrounds and disciplines
• Gain knowledge of socially engaged art practices
• Experience how multiple social, economic and cultural intersections
influence and impact socially engaged art practices
• Acquire skills and experiences in traditional and non-traditional
methods of ethnographic fieldwork
• Understand how decolonisation can be used as a framework to dismantle structures and past /current ways of teaching, learning and facilitating
• Enhance the ability to choose and utilize alternative mental models/paradigms to mainstream models, i.e. unlearning mental models/paradigms
InhalteThe summer school will be a two-week intensive programme where participants will expand their knowledge and experiences through the framework of socially engaged arts and unlearning. This will happen by engaging in processes that destabilise hierarchical ways of thinking and working. The participants will learn from and collaborate with each other and local creative practitioners. The location of focus is Sham Shui Po and surrounds, where there is a rich history of industrial works, material culture, traditional and contemporary arts, design and crafts—an abundant site for socially engaged art projects. The participants will be supported to conduct fieldwork observations, use conventional and unconventional ethnographic methods to observe, synthesise and co-construct a curriculum/workshop for unlearning. Participants will be asked to pay particular attention to how processes unfold under the frame of socially engaged arts in relation to other themes which can be site-specific yet opened to interpretation such as mountains, textures, sound, water or food. Ultimately, the aim of the program is to provide an experience for participants to share, unlearn, collaborate and gain fresh insights of how they can create radical ways of learning and facilitating that will expand their own creative practices and processes.
