Abstract

WorldView: Intersecções Culturais em Arte Contemporânea é um programa de aprendizagem que permite a alunos participarem em aprendizagem culturais globais através das artes. Cada ano, WorldView examina um tema novo de impacto social global e insere experiências com o trabalho de um artista contemporâneo como uma forma dos alunos acessarem e explorarem simultaneamente questões globais atuais e conceitos da arte contemporânea. Através de WorldView, alunos e educadores se engajam criativamente com questões sociais diferentes. Este artigo examinará os métodos e práticas do programa, apresentando WorldView: Brazil, uma colaboração programática do Wexner Centro das Artes. O programa WorldView: Brazil incorporou artes visuais e filmes brasileiros, centrando-se em Cruzamentos: Arte Contemporânea no Brasil (exibição), Doméstica (filme por Gabriel Mascaro), e Wasteland (filme por Lucy Walker). O programa criou uma experiência de aprendizado que integrou arte, cultura, identidade, estudos sociais, e humanidades.

Summary

Introduction

There are few ways to get hundreds of students from different schools all together to take a trip, out of their communities, beyond themselves (and their devices), across the world, without passports and substantial resources. Developed in 2005 in the education program area at the Wexner Center for the Arts, located at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, WorldView was a way to study and engage global cultural perspectives and experiences, and topics in contemporary life through the arts.
