Exemplary for the numerous contributions to promoting transfer between teaching and research, four activities can be highlighted:
In the open course «Come together – Art Education als kollaboratives Projekt», MA Art Education students developed a project day with pupils at Kantonsschule Baden in response to the concepts of documenta15. Accompanied scientifically by the chair of Didactics in Art & Design, the format finds its way back into research in this field.
The project «Right for We» addresses social inclusion and exclusion, power relations and privileges in art and culture, the educational field and the public sphere. One of the projects main goal is to set up different public interventions resulting from interdisciplinary cooperations among students from the three participating universities. During the spring term, cultural participation and the question of post-migration were inquired in different teaching formats. In autumn 2022 the public event series «Right for We. How do we do it?» was launched.
Michèle Novak and Anna Schürch were nominated for the 2022 ZHdK Teaching Award for their module on the research internship (Internship II) in MA Art Education. As a collaborative teaching format on the threshold between degree studies and professional practice, the research internship involves participants in a multi-layered setting. Thus, it enables research-based reflection on the conditions of various institutional contexts.
In the first phase of the project «A Questioning Situation» ZHdK researchers, lecturers and students worked together to test the field of artistic teaching. It focused on the question to what extent critical artistic working practices in the educational context can make their specific conditions visible, experienceable, negotiable and thus, changeable.
