Essayet baserer seg på kunstneriske forskningsmetoder gjennom scenekunstprosjektet Verken Fugl eller Fisk (Hovik, 2017-23) for barnehagebarn, av og med Teater Fot, der forfatteren er kunstnerisk leder. Prosjektet utviklet seg i en kollektivt skapende og undersøkende prosess, som undersøker betydningen av affekt i scenekunst for barn, og som underveis i prosessen benyttet seg av posthumanistiske teorier i samspill med et sanselig teaterspråk. Forestillingen Animalium (Teater Fot, 2019-23) improviserer og leker med å viske ut forskjeller og forstyrre skillelinjer mellom dyr og mennesker, og undersøker hvordan vi kan sette oss selv til side, slik at kunst og natur kommer mer til syne. Essayet diskuterer noen nye økologiske tilnærminger til scenekunst for barn og oppsummerer med et forslag om å rette oppmerksomheten mot affekt og emosjonelt engasjement, betydningen av et «nytt vi» og fellesskap mellom arter, samt iscenesettelse av utopiske fremtider.

Our idea is to address and discuss this on an individual/micro level and as a topic of social sustainability. Inspired by Irwin and Springgay’s a/r/tography, Frank’s dialogical narrative analysis, and different walk-along methods, we also explore alternative formats of the scientific article. In this text, we will thus present what became five threads of inquiry into arts education’s potential contribution to social sustainability. These threads describe our path through this field and relate to 1) the position of the arts in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs), 2) social inclusion in the SDGs, 3) research on the arts and health, 4) social inclusion in the arts, and 5) research on outsiderness. Throughout the article, we also exemplify our walk-along discussions through narratives, revealing more of the motivations behind this text. We end the article with a discussion proposing relational arts education to help avoid outsiderness and to promote inclusion, care, social sustainability, and diverging voices or what we describe as counter-voices, in arts education.

{"title":"Embodied eco-embroidery","authors":"Janne Iren Robberstad, Randi Veiteberg Kvellestad","doi":"10.7577/ar.5339","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7577/ar.5339","url":null,"abstract":"The UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) addresses equal access to quality education, focusing on literacy, numeracy and the science-field STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), - seemingly forgetting the importance of developing practical skills like craftsmanship. STEAM includes Arts into STEM, where the arts represent several independent artistic forms including music, theater, dance, visual arts, crafts and so on. In this article we focus on education for sustainable development through craftsmanship in embroidery. In a transdisciplinary collaboration that includes art, craftsmanship has its own innate value. Our research question is: In which ways can creative collaboration in embroidery enhance a sustainable STEAM education learning experience? We attempt to find answers to this by looking into how STEAM collaboration may affect the ways we teach craftsmanship, and the challenges and opportunities of doing so in a holistic transdisciplinary project, with a focus on ecological sustainability. Three groups of teacher-students help examine how crafts may contribute in building ecological awareness in themselves and an audience through conveying meaningful artistic narratives. Their embroideries were inspired by the UN’s Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. The results were shared through the Global Science Opera, an international STEAM-education initiative. Our analysis of the research data is influenced by posthumanizing creativity, which emphasizes ethically contributing world citizenship through embodied, collaborative creativity between creator and creation. This journey of making and being made shows a reciprocal relationship between humans and non-humans. The slow-art of embroidery invites the students into an embodied dialogue with the materials, tools, techniques and the scientific topics in the transdisciplinary context. As researchers we wonder how this dialogue and in-depth experience affected the students’ attitudes and actions towards sustainability. We found that the data supports the embodied, co-creative embroidery process, that it improved the students' craft experience, as well as increased the understanding and respect for the challenges in the new eco-reality.   Cover image: Sewing in nature, on nature, with nature, about nature.

{"title":"Reducing inequalities among species through an arts-based inquiry in early childhood teacher education","authors":"Anne Lise Nordbø, Biljana C. Fredriksen","doi":"10.7577/ar.5132","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7577/ar.5132","url":null,"abstract":"This article is based on a study in outdoor arts-based education with Norwegian early childhood teacher students. Their teachers of drama and art & crafts (also the researchers and authors of this article) facilitated the specific arts-based learning environments and posed the following question: Which qualities of arts-based learning environments can challenge students to seek toward reduction of inequalities between themselves and more-than-human others? Four narratives were constructed from four of the students’ visual, verbal and audio presentations of their experiences from the outdoor places they engaged with. The students described their processes of connecting to the more-than-human inhabitants of those places, and more-less explicitly expressed changes in their attitudes toward the inhabitants and materials encountered at the places. The narratives, and their analysis, make visible how the students’ arts-based engagements challenged their anthropocentric values and could potentially lead to reduction of inequalities between themselves and the more-than-humans they met at the places. The discussions at the end of the article focus on the first part of the research question and sum up four qualities of the arts-based environments that were present in the four narratives. These qualities are imagination, self-initiated actions, emphatic connections, and time for aesthetic engagement.

However, like everywhere else, the cultural sector re-enacts and thus conserves inequalities of various kinds through its outreach to wider audiences and its deep engagement in socio-cultural practices. By taking our actions within the ERASMUS+ project ‘Voices of Women’ as a creative catalyst, this paper scrutinizes a set of items for further discussion of arts-based pathways for sustainable transformation towards a more (gender) equal world. We discuss the ability of the arts to engage, educate, and transform power relations through three pathways towards sustainable transformation: 1. Canon critique; 2. Decolonization; and 3. New materialism. We argue that all three pathways enable novel forms of knowledge creation and actions in arts-based research, arts education, the cultural sector, and beyond.

Med «estekster» menes tekster med estetiske kvaliteter, gjerne i ulike modaliteter, som fungerer som redskaper i forskning både i individuelle tankeprosesser og i refleksive samarbeidsprosesser. Estekstene opptrer både som tankeredskaper i utforskingen av forskerroller, som empiri sammen med fotografier og transkriberte gruppesamtaler og som eksempler på analyse. «A/r/tografi», «poetic inquiry» og narrativ analyse er brukt som metodologiske tilnærminger. I artikkelen tas leseren med på utviklingen av estekstene fra verbaltekstlige, poetiske gjengivelser til auditive og visuelle narrativer. Gjennom denne endringen går også estekstene fra å fungere som et redskap i utforskingen av egen forskerrolle til å få betydning som samskapende forskningsredskap i en forskergruppe. Arbeidet viser også at estekster kan egne seg til å uttrykke kompleksitet og subjektive opplevelser som inkluderer det stemningsfulle, og at barnehagens lydlandskaper vokser frem med flere nyanser. I diskusjonen utforskes estekstene videre som kunnskapsressurser innen praksisledet forskning i nært samarbeid mellom barnehagesektoren og barnehagelærerutdanningen.\u0000Foto på webside: \"Lyttelinjer\" av Tona Gulpinar","PeriodicalId":344267,"journal":{"name":"Nordic Journal of Art & Research","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124595386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
