Where does pedagogy happen and who is it for? In Migrating Pedagogies, artists, activists, students, and community leaders engage creation, curation, aspiration, frustration, desire, decoloniality, performance, poetics, and more. Come celebrate this project as four LA-based pamphlet authors share their work. Pamphlets will also be for sale on site. Migrating Pedagogies will help us learn about teaching, teach about learning, and dream into new ecologies for it all.

Alice Yuan Zhang 张元 is a first-generation Chinese-American media artist and cultural organizer. Her transdisciplinary practice operates on cyclical and intergenerational time. Along the peripheries of colonialist imagination, she brings technology down to earth by devising collective experiments in ancestral remembering, interspecies pedagogy, and networked solidarity.

She co-edited Acts + Encounters, a collection of works about experimental writing and community, and Urgent Possibilities, Writings on Feminist Poetics and Emergent Pedagogies. She co-directs Humanities in the City, a program committed to humanities learning in classrooms and communities.
gloria galvez is an arts educator based in Los Angeles currently teaching at CalArts. As an arts educator she is interested in creating and expanding access to physical and abstract spaces of possibility, imagination, and self-determination, especially for individuals for whom it’s constantly denied.

Her performance memoirs include Swallow the Fish (2017), Experiments in Joy (2019), (ghost gestures) (2021), and the déjà vu (2022). She dreams of founding a pop-up art school. The aim of her work is to open up space.
