Abstract

Exploring new media, Penn State art education students in the USA working in conjunction with art students at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda, collaborated in a process akin to the early 20th Century Surrealist Art Movement’s “exquisite corpse” collaborative art practice. Together, they created a “Remix Exquisite Bioethics” online exhibition, which is also a teaching resource of transcultural dialogues. Students from Uganda and the United States discussed and collaboratively produced bioethic narratives in which their remixed assemblages inspired the stories and became characters in the stories. The assembled characters were comprised of their drawings of body components such as eyes, neck, waist, and feet. As collaborating facilitators, we present how we generated transcultural dialogues. Our new media pedagogy guided the creation of bioethic narratives based on students conceptualizing their remix characters’ personality, beliefs, and history. We discuss their audio-visual multimedia bioethic narratives as examples of our new media pedagogy. Annually, for more than 15 years, we have collaboratively developed new media transcultural dialogue pedagogy.
