Interdisciplinarity: Creative Education Futures
Online Symposium organised by the School of Art RMIT University

This symposium brings together key art and design educators from Australia and the Asia region to reflect on the significance of interdisciplinary practices for art and design education.

Interdisciplinary practices play a key role in the expanding creative industries and this is transforming art and design education. Interdisciplinary approaches foster new forms of innovation and creativity and offer an opportunity to reconsider assumed structures of education. They create an opportunity to be more inclusive of skills such as collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking; skills which are increasingly valued as education looks towards future industries and twenty-first century graduate outcomes. Over two days, four panels will discuss the challenges and opportunities for transforming art and design education, exploring key issues in planning for the future needs of students.

Keynote Speakers:

• Jaffa Lam, artist and Academic Head, Hong Kong Art School - Intangible Cultural Heritage and Contemporary Art
• Professor Kit Wise, Dean, School of Art, RMIT University - The Interdisciplinary Imagination

Key themes:

• How can interdisciplinary practices enhance the digital creative economy?
• What is the gap between tertiary art + design education and industry experience?
• How can interdisciplinary relationships be used to amplify and address pressing global and local social, environmental and cultural issues?
• What future pedagogies, industries, employment and educational experiences are emerging and how might interdisciplinary approaches support these?
• How can different disciplinary perspectives inform understanding and access to cultural heritage?

Participating Institutions:

RMIT University, Melbourne
Hong Kong Art School, Hong Kong (HKAS)
LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore
Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST)
