Wayfinding: transition and translation

The third issue of the Æ Journal, Wayfinding, reflects on processes of translation and transition in the post-pandemic era of unprecedented environmental and social change. To wayfind as an artist, pedagogue, researcher, or writer is to act as an orienteer– forging pathways towards speculative futures which deviate from the mainstream. Arts practitioners have the unique ability to break down barriers dividing theory and practice, locating novel throughways between the worlds of art and academia. These divergent approaches have the potential to unbind us from predetermined cultural trajectories towards hopeful and chimeric futures.

 

In volume three of the Æ Journal we invite artists, arts educators and arts-based researchers from the Concordia Fine Arts Graduate community to join in considering how to create inclusive and accessible futures through artistic means. Contributors should consider how themes such as transition, translation, and speculation can act as tools for wayfinding within the context of their community and creative practice. 

 

The Journal is made possible through the volunteer efforts of the ArtEGs, a representative group of graduate students from the Department of Art Education at Concordia University. Our mission is to bring together ideas about the practices in art creation and pedagogy by sharing student work and to create a liaison between the Department of Art Education and the Fine Arts graduate student body. We aim to foster the involvement of artist scholars in our community, and to provide opportunities to connect with diverse audiences through promoting critical dialogue and art creation. All submissions will be considered by a blind jury made up of ArtEGs executive members.
