SUMMARY:Co-Creation and Creativity: Arts Education in Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”152130″]The Open Window Teacher’s Conference aims to bring together educators\, researchers\, and practitioners in the field of creative arts education to explore innovative strategies for making our curricula and pedagogical strategies more individualised and learner-centric. The conference will provide a platform for knowledge-sharing\, practical workshops\, and panel discussions that address challenges and opportunities in art education. \nDate: Friday 15 May\nVenue: Open Window\, Stellenbosch\nCatering: Lunch \nTheme Exploration in the Programme: \nThis year\, our Co-Creation and Creativity: Arts Education in Dialogue programme will explore multiple topics\, including curriculum co-creation with students\, learner-centred education and approaches to well-being\, collaborative techniques in creativity\, and co-creating with AI. \nCo-Creation and Creativity offers the platform for educators to consider: How do learners shape or inform their own learning? How does the curriculum respond to or adapt itself around learners? To what extent are we as educators continuously evolving to meet the needs of our learners? This topic is pressing as it engages with the phenomenon of ‘the individual’ and the growing demand for an individualised approach to education. It foregrounds pedagogical approaches which prioritise student autonomy and agency\, their subjective experiences and perspectives\, and self-directed learning. This phenomenon further entails curriculum diversity and flexibility. How can we empower ourselves as educators to navigate set curriculum parameters\, whether governmental or privately determined? How can we collaborate cross-institutionally for the benefit of educators and students alike? \nAs educators\, we acknowledge the extent to which learning and creativity are\, in fact\, always collaborative\, whether it be between groups and individuals\, or between people and technology\, online platforms\, and tools. Particularly relevant to co-creating with technology is the promotion of active learning alongside AI rather than blindly depending on it. Our conference thus encourages critical conversation around the ethical use of AI tools. \nJoin us in the spirit of collaboration as we foster dialogue among educators\, institutions\, and industry professionals to enhance curriculum development and showcase best practices in arts education.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_button border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.openwindow.co.za%2Fco-creation-and-creativity-arts-education-in-dialogue-2%2F93768%2F” uncode_shortcode_id=”165217″]Programme and Workshops[/vc_button][vc_button border_width=”0″ link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fopenwindowspecialistspaces.as.me%2Fschedule%2Fc05fcb45%2Fappointment%2F90329282%2Fcalendar%2F12251994%2Fdatetime%2F2026-05-15T08%253A30%253A00%252B02%253A00%3Fcategories%255B%255D%3DTeacher%2527s%2BConference” uncode_shortcode_id=”331915″]RSVP[/vc_button][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Stardust on Broken Ground - Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”701613″]– PUBLIC EVENT – \nWe are thrilled to invite you to the NOW Gallery for a solo exhibition by the incredible Tatenda Magaisa.
Tatenda Magaisa is an artist\, writer\, and cultural producer (MA\, Wits) currently in residence at BLVCK BLOCK. \nMagaisa’s work is a powerful exploration of Black womanhood in popular culture and the complexities of global interaction. By blending painting\, print\, and video with themes from horror and sci-fi\, she captures the “continuous unease” of our modern world. \nFollowing her major 2024 solo at the Johannesburg Art Gallery and previous showcases at Zeitz MOCAA and the French Institute\, her practice dives deep into the “irreconcilable conditions” of art and labour. This is an exhibition you won’t want to miss. \nOpening Night: 5th March | 18:00\nArtist Walkabout: 14th March | 11:00\nLocation: NOW Gallery\, Open Window – Centurion Campus \nFollow her journey:
