CURRENT RESEARCH
Investigating the Creative Practices of Youth in Digital Visual Learning Networks
Working within Canada with a research team comprised of Drs. Juan Carlos Castro (PI), Kit Grauer and David Pariser they are examining shared social media usage via mobile devices of teenagers and youth (2020-2024). This research is generously supported by a SSHRC Insight Grant.
COVID-19 Anxiety in the
Age of the Anthropocene
COVID-19 Anxiety in the Age of the Anthropocene: is a creation research project which began June 2020 running concurrently with online Bachelor of Education courses including Art Infusion in the Digital Age and Senior Year Arts at the University of Manitoba ( U of M) and undergraduate courses including Materials and the Anthropocene at Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCADU). Artists, researchers and students “learned” and “made” together, co-investigating the psychological, social and political implications of “location,” “refuge,” and “loss” in the Anthropocene during COVID-19. Although our project manifests as a collaboration among artists Dr. Pam Patterson, Daniel Payne, and Dr. Joanna Black, this has expanded into a uniquely public/collective project spanning two Canadian provinces involving over 100 professional artists, undergraduate/graduate students at U of M and OCADU along with Gallery 1313.
