Call for contributions to ELIA Biennial in Helsinki
What?
We find ourselves skating on thin ice. Trying to maintain balance while moving forward. The past two years have taken their toll, but unexpected ruptures have given way to new flows of thought, ideas and discourse.
So many big questions – climate crisis, inequality, the changing role of arts education, students hungry for radical change. We feel anxious, enlightened, depleted and excited.
ELIA Biennial 2022 seeks to create an open exploratory space for all. A place where the unique complexities facing higher arts education today can be picked up, turned over and closely examined to see what lies beneath. We want to look at all sides from all angles. Run our fingers down the cracks, study the joins, take the rough with the smooth and discover those hidden gems.
Hosted by University of the Arts Helsinki in Finland, in the spirit of togetherness we search for greater understanding, engage in necessary dialogue to enable the growth of resilient dynamic ecosystems which embody and feed the needs of humanity, the environment, the arts and social justice.
