Under the International Congress on Arts Education and Sexual Diversity (EDADIS), Valencia, November, 13 – 14, 2014, Faculty of Teacher Training, University of Valencia
THE INVERTED CLASSROOM. PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGIES AND ARTISTIC PRACTICES FROM SEXUAL DIVERSITY
A project FIDEX Research Group (University Miguel Hernández, Altea), produced by EDADIS and hosted by La Posta Foundation at its seat in Calle Pintor Fillol, 2, Valencia.
On the occasion of the International Congress on Arts Education and Sexual Diversity (EDADIS) to be held on November, 13 – 14, in the Faculty of Teacher Training at the University of Valencia, and in order to provide a plural reflection that deepens the relationship between artistic pedagogy and sexual diversity, FIDEX Research Group (Figures of Excess and Body Policy) will transform the exhibition hall of La Posta Foundation in an inverted classroom, a space for debate on the trinomial sex, gender and sexuality beyond dichotomous heteronormative conventions.
The INVERTED CLASSROOM. Pedagogical strategies and artistic practices from sexual diversity is an exhibition project consists of a set of work done specifically for the occasion by artists, researchers and teachers that make FIDEX (UMH). The creative process of the group will depart from the practice of research, their teaching experience and attention to sexual diversity (seen all from a thematic, formal, procedural and attitudinal view) and will be realized in plastic work (specific and unpublished) through techniques such as drawing, video, photography, pouring and construction. The various works will be made under an experimental, interdisciplinary and contemporary approach.
Furthermore, because of their relevance to the theme of the Congress and the research group, will accommodate FIDEX own creative process within the exhibition format. This will direct your attention to the process of creating documentation and realization of works, by making images that capture both the technical procedures and material resources (illustration, painting, molding, casting, photography, video, etc.) the concepts addressed in an educational way.
The exhibition of the works in The Inverted Classroom in La Posta Foundation arises because as a complementary activity and contemporary EDADIS Congress, sharing it with similar objectives. Editing a research publication is also contemplated with widespread distribution that includes the results of the sample.
