Beskrivning
This companion demonstrates how art, craft, and visual culture education activate social imagination and action that is equity- and justice-driven. Specifically, this book provides arts-engaged, intersectional understandings of decolonization in the contemporary art world that cross disciplinary lines.Visual and traditional essays in this book combine current scholarship with pragmatic strategies and insights grounded in the reality of socio-cultural, political, and economic communities across the globe. Across three sections (creative shorts, enacted encounters, and ruminative research), a diverse group of authors address themes of histories, space and land, mind and body, and the digital realm. Chapters highlight and illustrate how artists, educators, and researchers grapple with decolonial methods, theories, and strategies—in research, artmaking, and pedagogical practice. Each chapter includes discursive questions and resources for further engagement with the topics at hand.The book is targeted towards scholars and practitioners of art education, studio art, and art history, K-12 art teachers, as well as artist educators and teaching artists in museums and communities.

Recensioner i media

"This book is for those that are searching for theory, curriculum, and pedagogy through the lens of self-determination. It is divided into three sections. The authors include engaging questions at the end of the chapters that assist in providing self-reflection. …Incredible!" Christine Ballengee-Morris, The Ohio State University, USA"This remarkable book centers art and art education as a powerful force for postcolonialism and decolonization. With a tremendous range of diverse international voices taking up an exciting range of scholarship, the book is truly one of a kind. It is magnificently unique in its embrace of decolonization as a focus for rethinking the structures and content of education and as a rebellious text that questions the colonized norms of scholarship by offering an array of artful, reflexive, and performative texts. An utterly powerful book that all art educators must read!" Rita L. Irwin, The University of British Columbia, Canada"Art as a concept is not currently built upon a foundation by which diverse humans demonstrate their self-determined creative, aesthetic and meaning-making capacity. Instead, systems of colonization continue to largely limit the engagement of our imaginations across worldviews. This book is one embarkation for building the creative consciousness necessary for diverse humans finally to breathe life into art and the world." Cristóbal Martinez, Professor, Arizona State University, USA
