About the book

Hope in Groundlessness

Hope in Groundlessness signals the infinite possibilities by which, through art, we exit into the world. For this to happen, art’s education must stop seeking legitimacy in school and society through the same productivist models that sustained it for over a century. Through concepts like ungrounding, unlearning, indirectness and autonomy, readers are presented with a fresh synthesis that is not commonly found in mainstream art education literature, making this book conceptually innovative and pedagogically significant.
