Abstract
This chapter focuses on art education in Germany. A paradigm shift happened about 20 years ago when Germany “discovered” that it had become an immigration society. The so-called refugee crisis of 2015 made clear the need for art education to reorient itself in the face of an increasingly diverse and transcultural society. In its first section, the chapter explains concepts developed to deal with this. The second section explores the current second phase of this development against the horizon of decolonization discourses. Based on the transnational project https://www.explore-vc.org” xmlns:xlink=“https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink”>www.explore-vc.org (mainly with countries in Africa), the chapter discusses approaches to attempt a non-hierarchical, international understanding of similarities and differences between understandings of art, education, and art education. It also discusses how to deal with this over-complex richness at schools and cultural institutions in order to educate global citizens.
