What do arts and teaching artistry possess in widening and altering the pathways of learning in this time of uncertainty? How do we, as teaching artists, unlock the potential in participants to free themselves from habits and certainty, and come to discover ‘new knowing’ in the ‘present tense’? Unlearning opens up new ways to discover ourselves and create new worlds in art and life. On our Day 1, we will delve into the practices and ideas around unlearning as a part of arts education—not only for our participants but for ourselves as teaching artists.
The presentations and workshops will lead you to re-imagine arts education and your work in it with new practices, perspectives and entrepreneurial ideas. Teaching artists bring their best practices to ITAC5 to share and discuss.
Topics such as:
* UN SDGs 4.7 aimes at cultural diversity, global citizenship and lifelong learning opportunities for all.

ITAC5 is the first conference to take place in Asia, so we will explore how teaching artists identify their practices in different localities, especially in Asia. How teaching artists bring back to life disappearing cultures? How can we reveal the accumulated but overlooked history and traditional elements in communities? This theme invites us to meet teaching artists whose practice springs from a specific community but carries universal value that reaches beyond the local setting to the global community of teaching artists.
With the presentations and the workshops, we will meet practices from areas far from urban centers, practices that teaching artists carry beyond the boundaries of nations. We will discover artistic practices that vitalize the cultural identity of minority communities driven into diaspora due to voluntary/non-voluntary migration. This track focuses the locality of teaching art in Asia, especially in Southeast Asian countries.
Throughout the sessions, the participating teaching artists will explore the inquiries below and more:
* UN SDGs 4.7 aimes at cultural diversity, global citizenship and lifelong learning opportunities for all.
9:00am ~ 10:00pm Seoul, KST(UTC+9)
1:00am ~ 2:00pm London, UTC
8:00pm ~ 9:00am New York, EDT(UTC-3)
We face a time of unstable and uncertain boundaries and barriers. COVID-19 does not simply block societies and communities, it blocks human-to-human encounters and trust; and it even makes us question long-trusted fundamentals of artistic practice.
Artists who work in participatory settings constantly provoke new perspectives, ask deeper, sometimes challenging, questions, and raise relevant issues. What is the role of artist and art education now, in this era of discrimination and hatred, conflict and confrontation, anxiety, helplessness and fear? Can our work contribute to positive changes as we represent the voices of different communities, societies, and countries? How can teaching artistry contribute to collective harmon and create visions of peaceful coexistence?
With these questions in mind, the Peace & Reconciliation track sessions explore these inquiries, in accordance with UNESCO Seoul Agenda Goal 3*:
* UNESCO Seoul Agenda Goal 3 includes social responsibility, social cohesion, global challenges from peace to sustainability through arts education.
Starting with the keynote presentation of the Alvin Ailey Youth Camp, which has committed to helping low-income Black teenagers meet the world through dance, we will see a variety of work done with Parkinson's disease patients, disabled students, and underprivileged youths.
We will share examples of artists working with movement, play, dance, and the latest digital media technologies. We will see how to break the cycle of violence through 'Drama with Women with Trauma', reconcile with death through 'Making Newborn Baby’s clothes with Cancer Patients', and dream of peaceful co-existence.
