Neoliberalism tends to put economic utility and usage as principles that capture art under the jargons of creativity, cultural industries, or flexibility. There is still an idea that arts are powerful transformative agents, but arts education still strives to claim its specificity and equal relevance comparing to other kinds of knowledge. Moreover, the very concept and status that arts and education built from European perspectives and aligned with colonial practices and identity constructions must be revised. This JSTA issue aims to question how to critically build a place and status for arts education which does not reproduce the hegemonic power relations it seeks to criticize, and which stimulates change instead of accommodation and homogenization.
