Art Education in Canadian Museums : Practices in Action, Paperback / softback Book

Art Education in Canadian Museums : Practices in Action Paperback / softback

Edited by Anita (Concordia University, Canada) Sinner, Patricia (Concordia University) Osler, Boyd White

Part of the Artwork Scholarship: International Perspectives in Education series

Paperback / softback

Description

This collection considers how Canadian art educators are engaging with a new range of approaches to museum education, and why educators are responding to 21st century challenges in ways that are unique to Canada. Organized into three sections, this collection reconceptualizes museums to consider accessibility, differences inlived experiences, and how practices create impactful change.

With the overarching concept of relationality between art museums and interdisciplinary perspectives, authors consider methodological, philosophical, experiential and aesthetic forms of inquiry in regional museum contexts from coast-to-coast-to-coast that bring forward innovative theoretical standpoints with practice-based projects in museums, articulating how museums are shifting, and why museums are evolving as sites that mediate different and multiple knowledges for the future.

Informed by social justice perspectives, and as catalysts for public scholarship, each chapter is passionate in addressing the mobilization of equity, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) in relation to practices in the field. By weaving the learning potential of interacting with artworks more fully within situated and localized social and cultural communities, the authors present a distinct socio-political discourse at the heart of teaching and learning.

Rupturing preconceived ideas and sedimentary models, they suggest a discourse of living futures is already upon us in museums and in art education.
