Abstract
This research project focuses on two axes – Artistic practices and educational practices that will be placed face to face in what we call the interstitial field of artistic education.From a position centered on the dimension of practice and on the areas of contact between artistic practices and educational practices, the purpose of this investigation is not so much to analyze a certain event – a workshop, a visit to the museum, a show – but rather to understand its nature as a potential space (Atkinson, 2011). A space in constant movement, for the opening of new learning possibilities, new ways of seeing things, of making sense, of looking inside and questioning our practice from the outside.From the active context of this investigation, it is intended to contribute to the questioning of the very need for artistic education. From the nature of the projects and proposals implemented and at the same time questioning the institutional options and the active ways of those who operate in traditional mediation spaces, educational services, artistic and cultural mediation projects, art and education projects, etc…
