Asymetry and equality. The relationship between artist and child as seen by artists working in artists-in-school-residence programs
This paper questions the difference between child and adult considered as one of the main questions of contemporary educational issues. The question is particularly acute when the adult is an artist, when the relationship with the child is built on the grounds of art and aesthetics. Therefore the artistic residences with children can be considered as places where a new relationship with the child is experienced. The qualitative methodology points out the ways of thinking of artists caught by individual and collective interviews. Analysis shows that in the field of art and shared creation, the difference disappears in favor of equality within difference, whose different modalities are presented and discussed at the end of the paper.
