New Issue: #13 · 2025 — Special “Postdigital Arts Education”
2025-06-16
Issue #13 of our journal is a special issue focused on reflection on (with/from) postdigitality and its connections with the arts and education. This monographic issue is supported by the EDARCLUSION R&D+i Project (PID2021-127124OB-I00), “Inclusive Online Arts Education: development and evaluation of a comprehensive MOOC-based teacher training model”, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/ and by “FEDER – A way of making Europe.” The reflective focus on the conceptual and practical foundations of arts education anchored in contemporaneity is a key and priority element of the EDARCLUSION project. Issue 13 of our journal Communiars is honored to present a collection of international reflections from esteemed voices who explore this postdigital and educational landscape.
Petar Jandrić (Zagreb University of Applied Sciences, Croatia) offers an evocative analysis of the importance of transdisciplinarity in postdigital research; Lucia G. Pimentel (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais EBA/UFMG, Brazil) reflects on how we might conceptualize postdigital territories and how they can be inhabited by the arts and their education; Robert W. Sweeny (Indiana University of Pennsylvania, United States), in turn, encourages arts educators to analyze artworks embedded in postdigitality for their social and critical relevance; Kristin Klein (Dresden University of Technology, Germany) proposes a compelling postdigital discourse in which relationships between artificial intelligence, artistic practices, and a decolonial future unfold; finally, Bianca Racioppe (Universidad Nacional de las Artes, Argentina) invites us to rethink the logic of remix and memetics through artificial intelligence.
On behalf of our editorial coordination team, we are deeply grateful to all the authors for their generosity, clarity, and professional work. Omnia sunt communia.
