(Short description)
How does art education change when colleagues from the Global South and Global North think about it together? What can we learn from a transcultural approach for developing art education? Authors from Africa and Europe present their concepts and projects and explain the ways in which they respond to local challenges, on the one hand, and position themselves in the global discourse, on the other. Conscious contemporaneity characterises the examples presented in this book, ranging from the Arctic to South Africa.
