Worlding Higher Education Differently: Co-creating a Technology-Art-Science Commons
Our tripartite ecosystem brings together transnational (local, national, international), transdisciplinary (technology, art, science), and transmedia (digital media platforms) efforts. Through this collaborative framework, we co-create activations among researchers and practitioners in higher education across Colombia, Egypt, and Canada. As visual arts and science educators, our project experiments with the intersections of art, science, and technology. We prioritize pedagogical activations locally and globally, focusing on a ‘glocal’ approach that emphasizes learning points relevant to the 21st century. These learning points—or impact literacies—equip students with essential skills, including: Transnational partnerships, collaborative teamwork, responsiveness and adaptability, and innovative thinking. By incorporating these skills into the project design, we provide students with leadership opportunities that might not have been available otherwise.

Playing with the Shadow – Raquel Moreno’s Public Programme
An intimate public programme by Raquel Moreno exploring drawing, embroidery, sound, and storytelling as creative practices for women.

Artwork by Raquel Moreno (2025)

Artwork by Raquel Moreno.

As part of her research residency, artist Raquel Moreno is leading a series of public pedagogical activations under the title Playing with the Shadow. The programme is designed as a creative space for women to come together and explore artistic and expressive practices in a collective, intimate setting.

Raquel’s broader practice focuses on women’s experiences and their representation. Playing with the Shadow reflects on the significance of having a space of one’s own—where being and existing intersect, where one can move through, engage in dialogue, and encounter personal desires and fears. In this context, shadow becomes a metaphor for what remains hidden, personal, or in process.

Over four sessions, participants will explore different artistic methods including drawing, embroidery, unsent letters, voice, and sound. These techniques are used to support reflection, storytelling, and embodied expression.
