Association for Visual Pedagogies (AVP) Conference: Ocular becoming in dangerous times: The politics of 'seeing' 2019
Important Dates
About AVP Conference
We are living in an unprecedented optical era in an age of post-truth that sets the scene for dangerous encounters of a human (and non-human) kind. Images are utilised in everyday lives to persuade, illuminate, transform and also deceive, yet we have barely scratched the surface concerning their potential for transformation and/or colonisation of thought. This conference opens up opportunities to give prominence to aspects of visuality in light of its increasing dominance in educational practice, potential to galvanise/revolutionise/advance (and likewise propogandise/homogenise/colonise) thought; and to critically analyse the associated challenges facing its materiality in the lives of all.
