    Sustainability in Art Education Fields of Practice

    In the research area "Sustainability in Art Education Fields of Practice," we interrogate and analyse formats of art mediation and art education from the perspective of sustainability. We thereby develop them – both, understandings of sustainbility and approaches to Art Education – further and think them anew. This includes issues such as access to education, urban development, climate protection, equity, body and health. Environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainability are part of our enquiries.
    We investigate the potential and the meaning of Art Education for sustainability in cooperation projects and partnerships, as research or as practicebased action research. Our goal is to broaden the sphere of activity of art mediation and the discourse around sustainability: By taking considerations around social equity as a starting point and by adopting approaches, methods and experiences of Art Education, we try to come to terms with diversity and equal opportunities, with power-relations and regimes of privilege. Thereby, we contribute to a wholesome, versatile and nuanced understanding of sustainbability as well as its mode of working and its temporality. Because in Art Education, knowledge is produced and activated simultaneously through theory, art, and the body, Art Education represents a pertinent field for interrogations around sustainability. Furthermore, our aim is to contribute to the theorization of Art Education and sustainability and to show how theory always is entangled with practice.
