Teaching Artistic Strategies: Playing with Materiality, Aesthetics, and Ambiguity. Transferring Research into Academic Teaching
Institute Arts and Design Education (IADE) X MAKE/SENSE PhD Program IXDM
FHNW Academy of Art and Design
Basel, Switzerland

Prof. Dr. Dorothée King, Dr. Selena Savic, Fatma Kargin

“Teaching Artistic Strategies” is a four-day symposium on research and pedagogy in the context of art and design institutions. It is aimed at junior researchers in practice-based research in art and design and art and design education, co-organized by the Institute of Arts and Design Education (IADE) and the Make/Sense PhD Program IXDM at FHNW Academy of Art and Design, Basel.

The symposium offers an opportunity to junior scholars to consider their research in terms of teaching and reflect on their contribution to knowledge by transferring research topics and methods into innovative pedagogies. The event addresses the challenge of transferring academic knowledge - produced in art education and practice-based research - to teaching programs, formats, and skills. We propose to focus on this challenge through experimental approaches characteristic of the research practices of the participants.

Keynote Lectures will be in hybrid format and open to everyone. Please get in touch with us if you wish to join the lectures.
