Theme: Embracing Uncertainty
Whether it be local incidents, global events or regulatory changes, stakeholders in arts and design education are constantly adapting their approaches and activities within societal contexts that one can label “uncertain.” Recently, throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and socio-cultural and political challenges, we have responded to rapid and often unexpected shifts in education ecologies to provide some continuity. It appears that continuous efforts to design new ways of embracing uncertainty will remain ongoing.
Keynote speakers
