The book argues that multicultural frameworks often reproduce liberal inclusion without dismantling colonial hierarchies and develops an intersectional, decolonial methodology attentive to race, caste, class, gender, indigeneity, and geopolitics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides readers with actionable strategies to redesign art education curricula, assessments, and institutional frameworks in ways that are ethically accountable and socially transformative. Methodologically, it draws on the internationally acclaimed \u003ci\u003eInterfaith Childhoods \u003c\/i\u003eresearch project which combines ethnographic research, curriculum analysis, and close readings of community-based artistic practices across diverse contexts in diasporic settings. Through analysis of contemporary folk performance traditions, digital community movements, and grassroots media collectives, the chapters demonstrate how vernacular cultural forms challenge Eurocentric art canons and institutional power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpanning late postcolonial policies to contemporary digital platforms, the book maps the evolving political life of folk media in everyday life and public culture. It offers practical strategies for educators seeking to redesign curricula, assessment, and institutional frameworks in ethically accountable ways. It will be essential reading for undergraduates and postgraduates in art education, cultural studies, and education, as well as scholars, teacher-educators, librarians, and non-specialist readers interested in decolonization, pedagogy, and socially engaged art practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amsterdam University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57257298133336,"sku":"9789463728041","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/folk-media-and-decolonizing-art-education","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
