Ecological pedagogy
(re)presenter(s): Gunndís Ýr Finnbogadóttir (she/her), Carolien Hermans

Abstract: Have you ever wondered how you might walk like a clam, or trace the size of a melting glacier? The Research Group Ecological Pedagogy within the Arts is aimed at fostering embodied ecological awareness, focussed on connecting human and non-human systems through an interdisciplinary lens. In this contribution we want to share the groups experiences from a hybrid self-made residency.

Art and Artificial Intelligence (Art & AI)
(re)presenter(s): Vasco Alves

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an undeniable reality, offering both unprecedented opportunities and significant challenges in the domains of music creation, performance, teaching, and learning. This presentation explores the method of systematizing interpretative musical conception, A∴418, as a theoretical precursor to the development of AI-driven tools designed to serve music.
 
Spaces of Artist Education
(re)presenter(s): Assunta Ruocco (she/her)

Abstract: The research group Spaces of Artist Education investigates how different environments shape, enable, and regulate interaction, communication, and pedagogical practices—both within universities and in non-institutional settings. This contribution will focus on embodied practices, the politics of reproduction, and the often-invisible labour that sustains creative environments. The session will conclude with a short participatory workshop.
