Art and responsibility
What does it mean to create, teach, and pass on knowledge and experience responsibly? What responsibility does an artist bear for what they reveal about the world, and what responsibility does an educator or mentor have in creating space for understanding, independent thought and creativity?
The 7th Education through Art Workshop Conference explores these questions from the perspectives of artists, educators and researchers. The first section focuses on the relationship between creation, knowledge-sharing and responsibility, addressing artistic truth, creative decisions, professional expertise and collaborative creation. The second section examines the connections between art, education and responsibility: how artistic experience can foster creative thinking, integration, participation, personal development and the fulfilment of individual potential.
The workshop conference forms part of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences’ Celebration of Hungarian Science programme series.
