Introductions
Jess Williams (artist in residence)
https://jlogos.net/about/
Jessica Laraine Williams is a transdisciplinary researcher, visual artist, practicing physiotherapist and PhD candidate at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, The University of Melbourne. Jess is undertaking her doctoral research on situating the posthuman through transdisciplinary work with art. This includes applied transdisciplinary projects that bridge art and science with multiple outputs, such as virtual reality nature art towards wellbeing. Jess’ parallel art practice relates to interests in performative identity, collective cartography and institutional critique.

Nedasadat Sajadi (research assistance)

Neda Sajadi is an international PhD student from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education. She is an Iranian a/r/tographer working on a practice/based-led research. As an illustrator and through her art practice, she explores the powers and limitations of visuals in creating meanings with a focus on the complex learning and understanding of abstract words. She discusses Persian miniatures as a starting point for this conversation between words and images.
Update on progress
During the second Arts Education Imperative meeting, which involved the introduction of the new members, tasks and project assignments were further discussed. The discussion was concentrated on several points, including preparing data management and sharing platforms, collecting grant information, setting major project milestones, and finalising and developing project imperatives. Microsoft teams, Zotero, OMEKA, and Figshare are set as the data-sharing platforms for this project. To expand the existing framework for the grant application, it was suggested that team members refine how the four imperatives are expressed through arts education. If you have any suggestions, we would be happy to hear from you. We made a start with:
Decolonisation - an umbrella term that is context-specific to this group, referring to arts education becoming less dependent on Western traditions and more inclusive of indigenous arts.
First project deadlines for your contributions
For more direction, we have included the first project brief as a separate attachment (see below) in this email today. Please make sure to take note of the tight deadlines as the project takes place within a short period of time. This means that the participants will be required to return the fieldwork outcomes (video projects) by 10 September. This project encourages the participating partners to creatively reflect on their research and consider what images/words can and should be preserved for the year e.g., 2041. Participants are welcome to look at this idea as a time capsule, containing creative outputs of their research, to be opened in the future. After collecting and developing the artefacts with the help of the artist in residence, it is expected that the creative output is ready for the exhibition no later than 17 September.
