This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2015 in the subject Art - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: The field of non-formal art/s education and vocational training for artists in Africa leads a shadowy existence. Although embracing the vital interface of education/art/culture, related approaches and projects frequently fail to meet the prevalent funding frames. However, African actors have long been autonomously contouring and shaping the interstitial space of non-formality with their ideas, concepts, and practice. What concrete form does their work take? What basic conditions is it subject to? Which formative effects are caused by current cultural and funding policies? These and other questions are elaborated in this volume with special reference to five actors in South Africa, Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ethiopia. The authors are: Nicola Lauré al-Samarai, Fouad Asfour, Judith Reker, Rangoato Hlasane and Malose Malahlela

Download or read book Visual Arts in Cameroon written by Annette Schemmel and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2016-02-27 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annette Schemmel provides a highly illuminating case study of the major actors, discourses and paradigm that shaped the history of visual arts in Cameroon during the second part of the 20th century. Her book meticulously reconstructs the multiple ways of artistic knowledge acquisition from the consolidation of the Systme de Grands Frres in the 1970s to the emergence of more discursively oriented small artists initiatives which responded to the growing NGO market of social practice art opportunities in the 2000s. Based on archival research, participant observation and in depth interviews with art practitioners in Douala and Yaound, this study is a must read for everyone who wants to better understand the vibrant artistic scenes in countries like Cameroon, which until today lack a proper state-funded infrastructure in the arts.
Download or read book Culture and Crisis in the Arab World written by Richard Jacquemond and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2011, the art of the Arab uprisings has been the subject of much scholarly and popular attention. Yet the role of artists, writers and filmmakers themselves as social actors working under extraordinary conditions has been relatively neglected. Drawing on critical readings of Bourdieu's Field Theory, this book explores the production of culture in Arab social spaces in 'crisis'. In ten case studies, contributors examine a wide range of countries and conflicts, from Algeria to the Arab countries of the Gulf. They discuss among other things the impact of Western public diplomacy organisations on the arts scene in post-revolutionary Cairo and the consequences of dwindling state support for literary production in Yemen. Providing a valuable source of empirical data for researchers, the book breaks new ground in adapting Bourdieu's theory to the particularities of cultural production in the Middle East and North Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s, a new wave of globalization changed the field of cultural production in many African countries and paved the way for major new cultural events. In particular, during the last two decades, an ever growing series of art and cultural centers were and still are being established - often against the background of broader national (art) histories and the historic prominence of the state as the primary patron of the arts. In considering the historical genealogy of these 'new spaces, ' this book examines: the infrastructures and public spaces they create, the theoretical discourses they tap into and explore, the aesthetic and (cultural) political debates they stir, the role they play in the field of cultural institutions and cultural activism, and their relations with state and municipal institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book issues around learning, education, social participation and expressive art practices are reflexively re-examined, deepening our understanding of artistic practices and art contexts in a contemporary world. Studies on and in the arts often blur conventional disciplinary borders, providing a terrain for new insights and interdisciplinary dialogue. By combining the study of social practices and discourses related to art-making, with ethnography as the main methodological approach, researchers stimulate intellectual debate. This book reveals a diversity of contexts and practices across Europe and Latin America.
Download or read book Developing Creative Economies in Africa written by Brian J. Hracs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together the experience of academics and practitioners, this book discusses creative economies in Africa, focusing on changing dynamics related to working, co-working and clustering. The contributors in this volume examine how strategies and opportunities such as co-working spaces, clustering and hubs facilitate the emergence of creative industries in a range of African countries including Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Nigeria, Tanzania and South Africa. They also consider the importance of creative intermediaries in providing opportunities and platforms for the development of creative economies in Africa. The chapters present a range of case studies and practices that engage with how creative and cultural producers embrace some of the limits and challenges of their local context to creatively deliver opportunities for economic as well as social and cultural development in their cities and regions. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and professionals researching the creative economies in Africa across the humanities and social sciences. All the royalties from the publication of this book will be donated to the not-for-profit organisation The Craft and Design Institute (CDI) (https://www.thecdi.org.za/) in South Africa, supporting capacity building for young creative practitioners from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Download or read book An Artist teacher Exploration of a Room 13 informed Space in an Irish Primary After school Setting written by Eileen Maria Keane and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although "Room 13" is recognised internationally as a valued model of art education in a studio setting, relatively few examples of the model exist in the Irish context. Moreover, of those examples that have been implemented, there is a paucity of research on both the practical features of its implementation, as well as experiential dimensions in the realisation of such a model with child participants. The current study explores a Room 13-informed model in a primary school context, focusing in particular on its manifestation as an after-school space, outside of the formal timetable, thus serving as a liminal space for art marking. Participants comprised primary school children aged between 8 and 12 years, together with the author as participant-researcher. In this context, the author was positioned as the artist-teacher and co-agent in an art making process. Configured as an exploratory case study, spanning one school term, a range of qualitative data was collected to document the experiences of the participants and identify the opportunities and challenges that the artist-teacher encountered in seeking to implement the studio model. Methodological approaches to data gathering comprised individual and collective interviews with participants, the researcher's observational notes, reflective journals and visual documentation. Data was analysed from a grounded theory perspective using explanation building. Findings reveal the influence of new visual realms on children's art making. Findings also reveal the necessity to interrogate and reconceptualise agency to facilitate understandings of child-artist-teacher relationships and artist-teacher agency. Four other perspectives on the experience also emerge as aspects for interrogation and reflection as follows: children's agency, children's art practice, the artist-teacher role, and artist-teacher's values and beliefs. The existence of additional agents within children's art making invites reflection on the conceptualisations of agency, while new visual art realms that children engage with call for reflection on the ethics of the encounter in growing contexts of influence. Critical reflections on the artist-teacher in the Irish primary school reveal a lacuna and notable absence in policy discourse from conceptual or embodied perspectives. Shortcomings in material provisions, as well as conflicts between values and beliefs inherent in new emergent practice, draw attention to emerging tensions when these are set against the historical and cultural backdrop of art teaching in Irish primary school contexts. Taken together, these findings contribute significantly to thinking in the Irish primary school context and Room 13 literature within four contexts, with a broad contribution made to expanding thought about agents and spaces within discourses about children's art making in the Irish arts education landscape. Finally, mapping future explorations of Room 13, the research presents a unifying underpinning pedagogy of adventure that embraces the existence of practices yet-to-come, the ethical encounter, and expanding ecology of children's lives. Notwithstanding the limitations of exploratory case study research, the conclusions and contributions offer valuable insights to primary school teachers, artist-teachers, artists and policy makers alike.
