Alex Eguiluz
Alex Eguiluz is an artist, learning designer and researcher whose practice spans different media: moving image, installation, pedagogy, and research dissemination. Their work explores how art serves as a fundamental tool to create pedagogical processes in both formal and non-formal spaces. Through their practice, they research and capture different narratives and realities intending to create work which fosters awareness and critical dialogue around complex societal issues such as identity, migration, and territory.
In their pursuit of exploring learning methodologies to achieve sustainable educational practices, Alex have spent recent years collaborating with researchers, teachers, and students from diverse backgrounds to develop pedagogical experiences and materials through a decolonial lens. In particular, Alex focuses on project-based learning, situating their projects at the intersection of art and research.
Currently, they are working on a research project exploring how local knowledge is transmitted through community-based pedagogies that can serve as a tool to respond towards our current social and environmental challenges. Through a research-creation methodology, this project aims to rethink learning practices by sharing this knowledge with current and future educators.
