The presentation drew from research into potential modes of delivery of art and design curricula, in particular since the Covid pandemic. This paper helps inform work towards a forthcoming publication'Survival Strategies', which explores changes in the way art is made and taught since the global pandemic. The paper also set out to - Inform strategy for future delivery of the unit and future delivery of theme based units. Inform future research into the most effective modes by which creative art and design curricula can engage with societal challenges. This informs the narrative of how art and design might articulate its impact and contribution as a set of disciplines. - Inform future curriculum developments that seek to bring together learners, researchers and makers from diverse disciplines. - Lead to further articles and presentations to ensure this continues as a global cross-institutional dialogue on interdisciplinary, collaborative, blended learning, informing and influencing one another.
