MEDIATION AND CRITICAL EDUCATION IN BERLIN AND OLDENBURG. AN INFORMAL CONVERSATION WITH NANA LÜTH AND WIEBKE TRUNK

Place: Floor 0, open to all audiences.

What practices of critical mediation exist in the Berlin context and others in Germany? What relations, processes, work and institutional transformations are taking place in teaching and teacher training? What dialogues can we establish with our experiences within the Barcelona context?

Taking these questions as a starting point for exchange we will hold an informal chat with these researchers, art educators and teacher trainers who are working at universities within the context of critical and reflexive traditions of artistic mediation as a field of institutional transformation, or queer or anti-racist perspectives, among others.
