The Promise of Crisis: Creatively Transforming Dangerous Learning into Innovative Outcomes in Edgy Contexts
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the perspective of a range of practising South African artists on the contextual factors influencing the recent surge in artistic creativity and innovation in their country. In particular, the ‘edginess’ of the everyday contexts of artistic endeavour is seen as a source of transformative learning for those having the courage to engage with it. Through such ‘dangerous’ learning, it is claimed, the creative ideas fuelling artistic renewal and development in the country are being generated. Furthermore, the conversion of these novel ideas into innovative forms of artistic production is viewed as an outcome of two unusual contextual factors: a covenantal culture characterized by an ‘in it together’ ethic; and committed, broadly distributed, leadership.
