EMERGENCE 2022 Reshaping the Future of the World through Art
Hosted by the Canadian Society for Education through Art and the Ontario Art Education Association.
Taking place in Ottawa, Ontario.
Conference Theme: Emergence occurs when divergent, multiple, and at times contrasting elements interact and come into relation within a larger system. We turn to art so that we can open spaces for radical and transformative collaboration. We invite everyone to re-imagine how the world can be reshaped by visual art for the future and to address emergent art education themes including decolonization, gender, social activism, accessibility, environmentalism, wellness, creative process, play, intersectionality, and embodiment.
