Theme

The workshop will focus on the collaborations, networks and spaces shared by creative industries (including creative practitioners, artists and freelancers) and higher education. It will look at both formal arrangements and practices (such as residencies, workspaces and teaching) as well as informal networks and shared activities. It will consider issues of sustainability and ask how benefits are equally shared by the partners involved. It will also examine the role played by institutions, geographies and policy frameworks that influence the development of these shared initiative

The presentation will discuss a series of projects with learners in the third space between home and school; these are located in after-school clubs and cultural institutions and explore productive, digital media arts practices, including moving image production and coding, considering how they operate within a wide and inclusive, socio-cultural frame of literacy. In these contexts, the presentation will consider what counts as “powerful knowledge” and will introduce the concept of “porous expertise” as a way of framing the conversation.
