Abstract

Education as Pedagogical Practice
(presented in Sharing Session 2: Exploration of Arts Teaching Resources)

My talk will be about education as a social construct, and how we deinstitutionalise the museum institution through the context of social and pedagogical practices. How do we work with artists, thinkers, and philosophers to build effective teaching materials in classroom?
This session examines how Tai Kwun Contemporary experiments with educational practices in the museum, allowing teachers and schools to explore beyond the curriculum.
