Artistic Ecologies. New Compasses and Tools

Going beyond tensions between individuals and institutions, Artistic Ecologies: New Compasses and Tools examines avenues for engaged pedagogies, collective learning, and artistic ecologies that can engender new institutionalities. If learning for life is emancipation—understood as a matter not just of power but of freedom—the essential question that emerges is: What knowledge makes us free, and how can institutions help produce it? In search of an answer, this publication’s textual and visual contributions explore sites and practices through which new artistic ecosystems can emerge.

The publication Artistic Ecologies. New Compasses and Tools is a part of the two-year project Education from Below, realized in collaboration with the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, MACBA Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona and What, How & for Whom / WHW, as a part of the Creative Europe Programme of the European Unio. The publication is edited by Pablo Martínez, Emily Pethick and WHW.
