This symposium investigates how AI is reshaping artistic learning, authorship, and the human experience in higher education. Through the perspectives of posthuman pedagogies, we seek to understand how human and non-human intelligences co-create new forms of knowledge and artistic expression, with mindfulness and creative consciousness. 

We are now calling for abstracts for both research and practice-led contributions, including studio protocols, classroom toolkits, case studies, and short tool walkthroughs or demos. 

Submissions may address (but are not limited to) the following:

1. Co-authoring the posthuman canvas

• How is creative autonomy challenged or expanded when AI co-produces work? 

• What are the emerging aesthetics of human-machine art? 

• How do we attribute authorship and value in a system of co-creation?

2. The Slow Studio: Mindful methodologies for sustainable and embodied practice

• What specific mindful methodologies (e.g. reflective interludes, slow-making) can be integrated into the art curriculum? 

• How can arts education mitigate the risks of detachment and overload associated with constant machine interaction?

3. Curricular Crossroads: Designing arts pedagogies for human-non-human co-production

• What foundational skills, both technical and critical, must be taught to navigate the tension between the accelerated and the slow? 

• Can institutions foster future-oriented pedagogies that integrate emerging technologies while preserving the embodied, mindful dimensions of artistic practice?

• Format: Abstracts should be 250–350 words in length and in PDF format.

• Submission types: Abstracts for research or practice-led contributions (e.g. studio protocols, classroom toolkits, case studies, short demonstrations)

• Title: Maximum 15 words.

• Author details: Include full name(s), institutional affiliation(s), and email address(es).

• Keywords: 3–5 keywords that best describe your presentation.

• References: Up to 3 key references (MLA 9th edition style, if applicable)

• Submission: Submit your abstract to posthuman.pedagogies@lasalle.edu.sg with the subject line: Abstract Submission – Posthuman Pedagogies Symposium 2026

Accepted abstracts will be featured in the Microtalk Sessions during the symposium. Each presenter will deliver:

• A five-minute pre-recorded video introducing their project or idea, followed by

• A live 10-minute Q&A
