REGISTRATION

Form: https://forms.office.com/r/fZPVWv4baY

Registration period: January 21st to February 5th

Registration is now open for the Teacher Training for the 14th Mercosur Visual Arts Biennial. The teacher training program was designed to provide an initial immersion opportunity for teachers before the exhibition begins. The goal is to immerse school teachers in the atmosphere of what will be presented during the 14th Mercosur Biennial, weaving together insights into the contemporary art scene based on the works in the exhibition.

The training activities will be led by teachers, researchers and art educators who are dedicated to thinking about teaching art in the classroom, museum education and non-formal ways of sharing knowledge.

The training is aimed at educators from public and private schools, as well as social educators, and will take place over the months of February and March 2025 in five in-person sessions. Each session will last four hours, totaling 20 hours of training at the end of the course. Sessions will be offered on Fridays in two shifts (morning and afternoon), allowing participants to choose the session that best suits their schedules.

PROGRAM CONTENT

Day 1 (07/02/2025): educators Allan da Rosa and Cigarra

Pedagogies in a Circle: Thinking about the circle as a training ground for pedagogical practices. Drawing on the experience of educators Allan da Rosa and Cigarra and their relationship with capoeira, drumming, and popular/community education spaces, we intend to discuss other ways of sharing knowledge that call upon collectivity, the wholeness of the body, the horizontality of knowledge, and everyday life.

Day 2 (February 14, 2025): educators Rafa Éis and Renata Sampaio

A spiral that also turns backward: How to create bonds between students, mediators, and teachers? We brought together artist-educators RafaÉis and Renata Sampaio, who have been part of the Biennial's educational team in previous editions, for a conversation about the possibilities already created—and yet to be created—for a field of dialogue and effective cooperation between these three agents that converge in the Biennial's educational circle.

Day 3 (21/02/2025): educators Adrianne Ogeda and Jandir Jr.

Body, Presence, and Learning: The Presence and Integrality of the Body in the Artistic and Pedagogical Experience. Reversing the idea of the inert body in schools and museums, and the still-practical separation of body and mind in traditional pedagogical processes, we propose a conversation about the presence and integral intelligence of bodies in artistic learning and enjoyment. Prof. Dr. Adrianne Ogêda and artist-performer and educator Jandir Jr. discuss the topic from the perspective of their work in the fields of art and education.

Day 4 (March 14, 2025): educators Sofia Robin and Luciana Loponte

Lesson-Work: The lesson plan as a creative field and the many ways to teach. A conversation with professors Luciana Loponte and Sofia Robin explores the creative processes of teachers when planning their lessons; the shared authorship and experience between teachers and students when this lesson is held; and the possibilities for reinventing the school/classroom in the face of humanitarian crises.

Day 5 (21/03/2025): educator Carolina Rochefort (Patafísica)

The Middle Place - Flows Between Learning and Teaching: Mediation as an inseparable space and the challenge of building flows in which knowledge is shared in multiple directions and by the entire group. How can we rotate the roles of those who learn and those who teach? How can we promote these shifts within the classroom? Professor Carolina Rochefort shares ways of (re)doing mediation, as conceived within the Patafísica research group.
