Urgent Pedagogies: Formal and Informal Learning Environments - conference&workshop


Date: Tuesday 3 December 2019

Time: 2 - 8 pm

Place: Iaspis/Konstnärsnämnden, the Project Room

 Address: Maria skolgata 83, Stockholm


Welcome to this seminar which is the second in this event series highlighting and discussing alternative forms of pedagogy and sites of knowledge production in relation to socially engaged critical spatial practice and design. With Elof HellströmOnkar KularJess MyersJoar NangoKatya SanderSocrates StratisAdélie Pojzman-PontayAlessandro PettiMarie-Louise RichardsPelin Tan and Magnus Ericson, and the students of the Decolonizing Architecture Advanced Course at Kungl. Konsthögskolan (KKH)/ Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm.

How can critical spatial practice engage in issues related to social justice and equality, contested territories and conditions of conflict? How can pedagogy, alternative approaches and spaces for research and knowledge production reach beyond established institutional structures, and through transversal and collective approaches make difference in transforming knowledge? How can pedagogies reveal and bring ways of unlearning and undoing and thus contribute to re-shaping design and architecture practice today?

In this seminar perspectives on formal and informal learning environments, between academia and activism, are presented and discussed through contributions from our participants. Thoughts and examples are drawn from formal education in academia as well as cultural projects, self-organised and activist initiatives.

Urgent Pedagogies is a project and platform for inquiry and sharing knowledge and experience around alternative pedagogy related to socially engaged spatial practice, design and art. The project focuses on the actions and methodologies of these practices that claims and experience unconditional territories and experimental institutional structures. Case studies, practices and discourses of alternative pedagogical initiations, modalities of instituting and affect methodologies are the main core in this project that aims to research and discuss. The project unfolds through an international network of collaborating partners and contributors, an emerging online archive and a series of meetings and public events.

Urgent Pedagogies is initiated and organised by Iaspis, the Swedish Arts Grants Committee's International Programme for Visual and Applied Artists in collaboration with the Decolonizing Architecture Advanced Course at Kungl. Konsthögskolan (KKH)/ Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm and Nordland kunst- og filmfagskole, Kabelvåg. The project is developed and pursued by Magnus Ericson, Project Manager for the design, crafts and architecture programme at Iaspis and sociologist, art historian and curator Pelin Tan, together with Alessandro Petti, Professor in Architecture and Social Justice and Marie Louise Richards, Lecturer in Architecture, Kungl. Konsthögskolan (KKH)/ Royal Institute of Art.
