PODPAST Futures of Arts Education
Episode 4 - Multispecies Art and Multispecies Learning in 2045 - A Conversation with Bifolia
In this episode, we will dive into the topic of multispecies learning, and multispecies art together with Gigi's special guest Bifolia, in the temporal zone of 2045. Bifolia is an artist and researcher at the famous International Institute of Interspecies Art. Interspecies art, an art form in which different species, for example humans and insects, co-create art together is deeply entangled with the idea of multispecies learning based on the ethos that all species are equal and equally complex and that the only way of sharing life on this planet is to learn from and with each other. Bifolia gives us insights into her work and discusses the possibilities and challenges of who has a right to be an art student today in 2045.
