Becoming the middle sea: Portraits of the Mediterranean in art education

Author:
Vella, Raphael  


Journal:
International Journal of Education Through Art


Issue Date:
2016


Abstract(summary):

This article examines the pedagogical, political and artistic implications of drawing an intercultural 'portrait' of the Mediterranean in various educational and cultural settings located in different countries in the region. Based on an educational project ('Dessine-moi la Mediterranee) carried out in several Mediterranean countries, in which children of different ages studied and redefined their own environments and cultures within a Mediterranean context, the article argues for an artistic pedagogy that incorporates local knowledge in the curriculum and simultaneously encourages participatory and collaborative experiences that promote relational understandings of identity. It argues against restrictive or essentialist interpretations of identity by highlighting the sense of 'becoming' inherent in the enigmatic, double exposure portraits and the medium of drawing employed by children during the international project.
