In this episode we hear from Professor John Johnston, UNESCO Chair of issues-based arts education at ArtEZ University of the Arts in the Netherlands for his keynote address ‘Issues Based Art Education & Intersubjective being’ at the 2025 National Arts in Education Portal Day on 8 November in TU Dublin, School of Art & Design.
Originally from Belfast, his work is dedicated to developing creative and activistic pedagogies that address issues of division and conflict. He is particularly interested in exposing how art, culture and education are weaponised to form single identities based on class, race and religious difference.
John is joined by Aoife Keogh, Arts in Education Portal Editorial Committee Member, Lecturer in Education, NCAD for an audience Q&A.
To start the episode we hear welcomes from John Walsh, Head of the School or Art & Design at TU Dublin and Jennifer Buggie, Arts in Education Portal Editorial Committee Member, National Arts in Education, Tralee Education Support Centre.
