Wat voor soort gebouwen en leerruimten heeft het kunstonderwijs van de toekomst nodig? De huidige sociale, politieke en ecologische realiteiten vragen niet alleen om een aanscherping of bijstelling van opvattingen over kunst en kunstonderwijs maar ook om een heroriëntatie op de gebouwen en fysieke ruimte waarin dat kunstonderwijs plaatsvindt.   Deze serie leidt je in drie afleveringen door een aantal bestaande gebouwen van kunsthogeschool ArtEZ in Arnhem aan de hand van huidige gebruikers. Zij vertellen over hun beleving van de gebouwen en de ruimtes zoals ze nu zijn en gebruikt worden en formuleren hun wensen voor de toekomst. In deze laatste aflevering willen we het idee van welzijn tijdens onze tocht door de gebouwen van ArtEZ nog scherper onder de loep nemen aan de hand van ideeën over diversiteit, inclusie en sociale veiligheid; onderwerpen die maatschappelijk hoog op de agenda staan, en dus ook bij ArtEZ. Om tenslotte nog wat wenken en mogelijkheden te bespreken die gaan over de inrichting en het gebruik van klaslokalen.  Deze serie werd samengesteld door Catelijne de Muijnck en Dennis Gaens in opdracht van ArtEZ studium generale. Met veel dank aan de geïnterviewden: Kir Robben (Speels Collectief), Kim Jäger (Jazz&Pop Arnhem), Kirsten Gerritsen (alumna DBKV Arnhem) en Riëtte Wanders (Gerrit Rietveld Academie).

In deze tweede aflevering aflevering wandelen we verder door de gebouwen naar ArtEZ op zoek naar ruimtes die weliswaar binnen de bestaande architectuur gelokaliseerd zijn maar die zich laten omschrijven als ‘grey spaces'-  oningevulde ruimtes - en ‘shared spaces' -  ruimtes waarin gedeeld kan worden - en het belang daarvan voor het onderwijs.   Deze serie werd samengesteld door Catelijne de Muijnck en Dennis Gaens in opdracht van ArtEZ studium generale.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.The Caribbean's artistic traditions reveal profound truths about our history, identity, and resilience. Keisha Oliver,  PhD candidate at Penn State, joins Strictly Facts as we discuss Bahamian visual culture that challenges conventional understandings of Caribbean creativity. From the gendered practice of straw craft—where women wove not just materials but stories across generations—to the radical educational approaches of forgotten art pioneers, this conversation uncovers how visual expression became a battleground for decolonization. Horace Wright traveled between islands as the Bahamas' only art educator during segregation, while Donald Russell created alternative spaces where Black and white students could learn together despite societal barriers. Their stories reflect the complex migratory patterns that define Caribbean identity itself: birth in one nation, heritage from another, and contributions to a third.Most provocatively, Oliver poses an existential question gaining urgency as climate change threatens island nations: "How do we preserve who Bahamians were outside the physicality of the Bahamas?" This challenge demands innovative approaches to cultural documentation that honor indigenous and African diasporic traditions while embracing new technologies and platforms. By framing arts education as a form of Black radical thought, this episode reveals how cultural expression functions as political resistance and nation-building. The conversation ultimately demonstrates that art doesn't merely reflect Caribbean identity—it actively creates it, serving as both anchor to our past and compass toward our future.Keisha Oliver is Bahamian assistant professor of Art and Design at the University of The Bahamas, and a PhD candidate in the dual-title Art Education and African American and Diaspora Studies program at the Pennsylvania State University. As an artist-scholar whose research intersects heritage studies and arts pedagogy, Oliver's current work focuses on mid-twentieth century transcultural African diasporic art histories and archives. She currently stewards the Charles Blockson Collection of African Americana and The African Diaspora at Penn State and serves on several boards for arts organizations in the Caribbean and United States. Her research has been published internationally in the areas of museum studies, visual arts research, Bahamian art, and Caribbean art history.Support the showConnect with Strictly Facts - Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | YouTube | Website Looking to read more about the topics covered in this episode?
