Research is a creative process and learning is a social activity. The inter-university teaching initiative “Art as a Means of Historical Inquiry,” which my colleagues Nina Williman, Mayumi Arai from the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHDK) and I have initiated with the support of the UZH Teaching Fund combines these two values.
I’m excited to announce the publication of our project website.
On “Art as a Means of Historical Inquiry,” you can find a summary of projects, prompts and take-aways from our collaboration. These contents have been developed in an inter-university exchange by students and instructors from the University of Zurich (UZH)’s Department of History and the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK)’s Program in Transdisciplinary Studies in the Arts.
Our website is an invitation to think along by using and further developing the exercises we have developed at the intersection of critical artistic conversation and rigorous historical research. Do check it out and get in touch with your reactions.
