Art and Pedagogy in a Postmigratory Society

By Marta Padovan-Özdemir, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Depart. of Social Education, Head of Research Program for Society and Diversity, VIA University College, mapa@via.dk

Keywords: postmigration, migrants, solidarity, critique, pedagogy

This paper raises the question, what kind of pedagogical project emerges when artists “give voice to” people identifying as refugees or migrants. Furthermore, how can this curation of voices be understood as a pedagogical intervention into a postmigratorysociety? The paper begins with a theoretical exploration and discussion of art’s pedagogical potential with references to Brecht, Freire, Mouffe and Rancière. This discussion is then related to a discussion of how art’s pedagogical potential can be submitted to and enacted in a postmigratory perspective. This theoretical exploration frames the following analytical discussion of the art project 100 % Foreign?In conclusion, the paper raises some uncomfortable questions about pedagogy and artthat aspire to make a difference in a postmigratory society.
