Koenraad Hinnekint

Educational Design, Posthumanism, Futures thinking

Koenraad Hinnekint is a performing artist, art educator, and researcher working at the intersection of the arts and educational sciences, with a keen interest in utopianism, new materialism, and posthumanism. He is currently focused on organising futures art school labs, in which he explores innovative cartographies and alternative modes of representation for art schools in a posthuman era. His research posits that the cultural shift brought about by the posthuman condition compels higher arts education institutions to serve as crucial platforms for debate and transformation in the journey towards the future. Central to his work is the exploration of what vision for higher arts education institutions emerges from this hypothesis.

Based in Brussels at LUCA School of Arts and in Leuven at KU Leuven's Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Koenraad holds an MA in Music Pedagogy, an MA in Conducting, and is a PhD researcher in Educational Sciences. His research interests lie in the future of educational design in higher arts education, with a particular focus on ecologies of justice through posthuman and post-digital lenses. Koenraad has extensive experience as a project coordinator for numerous initiatives, funded by institutions such as Association KU Leuven, the Flemish Government, and Erasmus+.
