The seminar will focus on the future of art and design education and is centered around four core values: ‘Empathy, ecology, sustainability and community’. In addition, a number of national and international contributors will attend workshops, contribute to artist talks and participate in discussions/debate panels, etc. The seminar is primarily for faculty students and staff. If there are places available we open for external participants.
