_{Former AAEP PhD student Tamryn McDermott’s research journal during}
_{ArtEd7795 in Summer 2022 with performance activating artwork}
_{Wind Oracle (2022) by Eduardo Navarro.}

How do we learn together, not only with other people, but also with land, with water and with all more-than-human beings? The Toronto Biennial of Art (TBA), from its inaugural edition (The Shoreline Dilemma) in 2019, and related second edition (What Water Knows, The Land Remembers) in 2022, to it transitional third edition (Precarious Joys) in 2024 and upcoming fourth edition in 2026, there has been an insistent, guiding question: what does it mean to be in relation? Centering global Indigenous and diasporic knowledges, environmental justice, colonial histories, political consciousness, deep listening, joy, resilience and artistic agency, this intensive four-week course will examine TBA’s commitment to place-based public learning and potential translations to our contexts at OSU and in Columbus, Ohio. 3 credits.

Designed for learners interested in exploring the intersections of art, geography, and education, the course examines how classrooms, communities, and broader geopolitical contexts influence creative work and teaching practice. 3 credits.
