Art Education Studies

The IAE works in the field of Art Education Studies. This reference to the cultural and visual studies tradition makes clear that the institute takes an approach critical of power relations, based on an awareness of how current conditions are always the result of historical processes, and positions itself within the corresponding theoretical and methodological frameworks. In particular, the IAE conducts Art Education Studies in projects with a methodological framework drawing on cultural analysis.

    Praxis research projects
