Writing-with Others: Creative, Collective Writing as Artist Pedagogy
The project examines collective writing in the context of artistic thinking and artist pedagogy.
Introduction
Aino-Kaisa Koistinen’s project “Writing-with Others” (2023-2026) examines collective writing in the context of artistic thinking and artist pedagogy. The project considers collective writing (or “writing-with”) not only as writing with other human beings, such as scholars or artists, but also as in the practice of writing with artistic, literary and academic traditions, personal and shared histories, other-than-human animals, natural and constructed landscapes, and other other-than-human actors. What kinds of artistic thinking and situated knowledges does writing-with others bring to the fore? What kinds of implications does this have for an eco-sensitive, eco-justice artist pedagogy and for the broader collective aesthetic, poetic, and also activist, practices needed in order to find sustainable ways for humans and other-than-humans to co-exist in the Anthropocene?
