These are only a few questions we’d like to discuss with Anne Skaansar (KHIB Bergen), Nora Sternfeld (Aalto University, forethought), Jenny Moore (the Partisan café), Konstanze Schütze (agency art education, store contemporary/Berlin & Dresden), Kristin Klein (University of Cologne) and Gila Kolb (The Art Educator’s Talk, University of Cologne).

We engage in conversations with art educators about their practice, favorite formats, pressing questions, underlying or developing theories and visions for a future art education.
