Abstract:This master’s thesis is a study that seeks to find out what kind of knowledge walking-with can provide for post-humanist and life sustaining art education in the era of acute climate crises. The work approaches the world as a more-than-human field, in which non-human actants take part in shaping how the world and education are understood. The world view and the way of attaining knowledge in this work are twisted, jolted, rambling and queer – it detaches from a unitarian understanding of this world. It engages with the world as an entangled pluriverse. This thesis does not intend to offer straightforward answers but brings forth the perceived notions of a vital relationship with the environment and the nature of situated knowledges. These notions act as a rallying call for an art educator working in the midst of climate crises. The dysfunctionality of capitalist society is the starting point for this study, and instead of identifying with consumerist identities, it proposes entangling in a queer relation to environment. It intends to reach out to the world, where education is not a journey from nature to culture, but a journey within naturecultures, thus dismantling a nature culture dualism. The work proposes that, by acknowledging and exposing oneself to the conditions of which we are made, we might cultivate desire for those things that are favourable to life and constructed on its terms. |
