Els Cornelis
The common thread in the education, research and visual work of Els Cornelis, trained as an experimental psychologist (PhD) and visual artist (BA), can best be described as questioning social and psychological constructions. She is currently interested in how artistic interventions and strategies can contribute to change and strengthen critical thinking and acting within art education and (art) institutions.
At HKU, Els works mainly as a lecturer in Fine Art and Design in Education and in Master of Education in Arts. She is also one of the founders of the working group Roadmap to Equality in the Arts. In collaboration with ArtEZ studium generale she researches the Future of the School of Arts/ PLURIVERSITY OF THE ARTS and possible POWERTOOLS, artistic strategies for students and teachers within HBO art education to work towards a more inclusive (art) world.
