Afterall ArtSchool Q&A: Ewa Lajer-Burcharth on Ethics of Pedagogy and Painting

A video discussion featuring Ewa Lajer-Burcharth, a Fine Arts Professor at Harvard University, and Mark Lewis, Co-Founding Director of Afterall, was released by Afterall.org. They explore the moral implications of painting and the notion of subjectivity in education, citing Jean-Siméon Chardin's 1737 artwork 'The Young Schoolmistress'. Additionally, the site highlights upcoming Afterall ArtSchool events: a presentation by Malaysian artist Sharon Chin on her piece 'Creatures on the Move (In the Death of the Night)' (2022) on 31 Jan 2024, a dialogue with Estefanía Peñafiel Loaiza, Afterall editor Elisa Adami, and CSM Art Programme Director Alex Schady regarding Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's 'Can the Subaltern Speak?'
