Hidden Talents Club Night – A Secret Arts Showcase
The Art Education research group at the Amsterdam University of the Arts (AHK) conducts artistic, accessible and practical research that is often directly applicable in school and extracurricular education. No hefty reports gathering dust in drawers, but insights that genuinely advance arts education.
Research Projects
Our research projects result in in-depth publications, hands-on educational tools for teachers and educators, and an inspiring podcast. We also organise trainings, further education programmes, and symposia. In addition, we are frequently invited as speakers at educational and arts education events.
Wicked Arts Education
One of our most prominent projects is Wicked Arts Education. Wicked Arts Education is contemporary, inclusive, and cutting-edge. This concept encourages the design of art lessons and programmes that challenge participants to creatively explore themselves, the arts, and the world around them.
Research group
The research group consists of a research team led by Melissa Bremmer and Emiel Heijnen. They conduct their own research and supervise lecturers and other researchers within two central research themes: interdisciplinarity and social engagement. We are keen to collaborate with other researchers and organisations. Please contact us.
Research themes
Our research group has two themes: interdisciplinarity and social engagement. These align with the AHK research profile ‘Engagement through critical creative practice’.
Interdisciplinarity
This theme explores the connections between different disciplines. We observe that boundaries between fields are blurring and changing. Many complex problems require a broad approach that combines knowledge from multiple disciplines
Social engagement
Arts education is at the heart of society. This theme examines how arts education can contribute to societal reflection, critical citizenship, and inclusion.
