Integrative and experiential learning in the arts, education, and global community building
Melinda Russial
“…the role of imagination is not to resolve, not to point the way, not to improve. It is to awaken, to disclose the ordinarily unseen, unheard, and unexpected…”
The Apeiron Arts Initiative emphasizes a globally-minded approach to the creative process that honors the complexity and diversity of everyday experiences. We embrace the arts as a unique access point for a broader exploration of the role that culture plays in our lives and in the world, as well as an opportunity to help us communicate across barriers of language, politics, and divergent ways of learning. We celebrate individual and collective agency, collaboration, inquiry, and reflection as necessary components of constructive and transformational global, social, and existential change.
