“Pedagogical Matterings: Creative Teaching with the Impossible.”
Dr. Catalina Hernández-Cabal (she/her) is a Colombian-American feminist artist, educator, and scholar whose work is rooted in dance improvisation, somatic practices, collaborative performance, and speculative mapping and archiving. Her interdisciplinary practice explores place-making, embodied knowledge, interdependence, and pedagogy across both formal educational contexts and community-based settings. Committed to feminist knowledge and pedagogy, she grounds her work in partnerships, collaboration, and multiple forms of dialogue. She has co-edited two books on artistic research and pedagogy, and her creative scholarship has appeared in Feminist Pedagogy and Women & Performance, among other academic and artistic venues.
Description:
What seems “impossible” in our current capitalist and violent educational structures? How can art-based, interdisciplinary curricula and feminist pedagogy contribute to questioning the normalization of violence as a condition of formal education? This workshop invites us to remember that “how one does one’s pedagogy in a field impacts what can and is done in the field” (Loveless, 2019, p. 13). Inspired by feminist abolitionist teaching, transgressive, and creative pedagogies, Dr. Hernández-Cabal offers strategies to use class assignments as creative study—granting materiality to forms of knowing and being-with that often seem impossible.
This workshop will be online on Zoom and open to the public.
