Contemporary Issues in Art Education

This series of short films based on the theme "Freedom Dreaming" were created for the graduate course Contemporary Issues in Art Education. Our in-class discourse focussed on anti-oppressive pedagogies in response to the uprisings of 2020.

“Freedom dreaming gives teachers a collective space to methodically tear down the educational survival complex and collectively rebuild a school system, that truly loves all children and sees schools as children’s homeplaces, where students are encouraged to give this world hell.” B. Love.
