Alternative pedagogies, collaborative and informal spaces for learning
Elle Reynolds, a scholar, researcher, and quiet disrupter, brings a wealth of experience in teaching and management within the realm of art education. However, she refuses to be confined by institutional boundaries, constantly challenging and subverting to reshape educational paradigms. Applying alternative art pedagogies to consider alternative social, political and economic forms and actions that could inform a sustainable and reimagined art education eco-system.
Elle’s practice involves activating objects and materials imbued with inherent potentials, utilising them as tools for pedagogical disruption. The work builds on polyfocal theories developed through collaborative workshops. This encompasses the mapping and enactment of spaces through performative lectures, printed materials, talks, and publications while also employing three protagonist roles as interlocutors.
