Unconcious Bias III

Register by June 11th, 2024 by email to plusdimensions@kh-berlin.de.
Workshop for khb teachers in German.

In June, the third workshop with Angelo Camufingo will take place. Participants who were unable to attend the first two workshops are also welcome to join.

Feminist and postcolonial studies in particular have highlighted how universalist ideas are anchored in specific experiences. In this context, decolonial critiques have examined, among other things, the canon of aesthetics. They reveal how our senses are locally, positionally, and historically conditioned. Thus, not only are aesthetic experiences subjective, but aesthetic categories are historically and culturally biased. This makes universalist notions of what is good or bad art untenable. What does this mean for the practice of teaching art and design? And what happens when we have to judge students' work in admissions or final projects? How can we become more aware of our unconscious biases so that we don't judge students' work according to our own tastes?
