<div><br></div>
<div>An interactive online extravaganza for arts education
professionals. Enjoy four full days of experiential conversation,
workshops, walk-shops, online performances and over 40 presentations
and breakouts, harnessing the power of transdisciplinarity</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>ELIA Biennial participants explore the effects of
interdisciplinary education, interactive storytelling, innovative
curriculum development, and the collision between the arts, science,
society and our environment. With the aim of looking to the future of
higher arts education, together we will learn from experiments,
experiences and happy accidents.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We are delighted to announce our keynote speakers-acclaimed
interdisciplinary artists;<b> Ragnar Kjartansson</b> and<b> Coco
Fusco</b>, whose presentations delve into artistic approaches through
song and unpack cultural diversity in art schools today.</div>
<div>In these uncertain times, arts institutions face shifting
paradigms when dealing with internationalisation (travel
restrictions), priorities in health policy, economic and political
values and practices, communication, and the art world itself. Three
internationally renowned thought leaders imagine a future post
Covid-19. What might this mean for artists and the arts in higher
education?<br>
</div>
<div>Speakers include:</div>
<div><b>Lidewij Edelkoort,</b> Dutch publisher, humanitarian, educator
and exhibition curator, considered one of the world's most famous
trend forecasters.</div>
<div><b>Angélique Kidjo</b>, celebrated African singer-songwriter,
actress, activist and UNICEF goodwill ambassador, noted for her
diverse musical influences and creative music videos.</div>
<div><b>Jude Kelly</b> CBE, British theatre director and producer,
former artistic director of London's Southbank Centre (2006 -2018).
Director of The WOW Foundation which celebrates the achievements of
women and girls and confronts gender injustice across the globe.<br>
