#DIDAKTIK. Christin Lübke: Learning (forward) from One Another in Art Education

What does it actually mean to learn from one another in arts education? This lecture unpacks this seemingly self-evident concept and reveals it as a multifaceted network of different modes of relationship: learning with one another, about one another, for one another, from one another—and even amidst one another. From these perspectives, it becomes clear that collaborative learning processes in arts education are neither predictable nor conflict-free, but rather unfold their potential precisely through their openness, friction, and unpredictability. 
Building on the research and development project collaeb (collaeb.org), “Learning from One Another” is presented as a relational and collective practice of knowledge production in art education that brings together educational, artistic, and academic perspectives in dialogue. The lecture argues that learning should not be understood primarily as the acquisition of knowledge or as a methodologically controllable process, but rather as an event that emerges from encounters, negotiations, and shared aesthetic experiences. The focus is on how digital environments can specifically help establish such an understanding of learning.
Building on this, and inspired by Nora Sternfeld’s concepts of “unlearning” (Sternfeld 2014) and “pre-presentation” (Sternfeld 2017), a shift is proposed: toward “learning forward from one another”. This refers to a form of learning that draws not only on the familiar, but also on what emerges through the shared process. Arts education thus appears as a space of possibility where uncertainty becomes productive, difference is embraced, and the future can be shaped.
