Urgent Pedagogies is a project and platform for inquiry, sharing knowledge and experience through public events and an emerging online archive highlighting and discussing both practice and theory. It aims to serve as a common resource, bringing together practitioners and researchers from a plurality of contexts, experiences, and backgrounds to be in dialogue and think together.

Urgent Pedagogies is initiated and organised by IASPIS, the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s International Programme for Visual and Applied Arts. The project is developed and pursued by Magnus Ericson, Head of Applied Arts, IASPIS, responsible for the design, crafts and architecture programme, and Pelin Tan, Senior Researcher of the Center for Arts, Design and Social Research, Boston, and Professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Batman University, Turkey.
