Abstract:
Art as education, as a field of research and action, still struggles to claim its own specificity and equal importance in relation to other types of knowledge. This paper aims to reflect on the importance of the use of artistic expressions in education, starting from a historical excursus that repositions art as a mode of post-colonial narration and as a tool for claiming human rights. To reflect on whether, and how, this heritage can be used within the educational context in order to generate inclusive and intercultural contexts, where the concept of "interculturality" encloses a potential that makes us live a middle way between the self and the Other, disorienting but at the same time surprising, in an in-between space (Bhabha, 1996) that involves a mutual displacement (Sclavi, 2003). This, in particular, in secondary school, where what is considered is the growth and enhancement of human capital, the result of a neoliberal system that dictates the rules of education aimed at know-how rather than care of the person as such (Baldacci, 2014).
