Nick Stewart has taught at all levels of Higher Education and in independent workshop delivery, nationally and internationally, for some 35 years. His interests extend across a wide range of contemporary art practices, including; drawing, installation, performance, photography, video and artists’ books. Whether in one-to-one or in group teaching, he respects the integrity of individual students lived experience as a basis for the development of their work. Issues of identity in relation to place, community and nationality are of particular concern to him. This is reflected in his work, concerned as it has been with questions deriving from his experience of living in Belfast during a period of violent conflict. Politics and poetics go hand in hand in his understanding of art and he encourages his students to develop in both their intellectual understanding of their projects and their direct lived experience as a source of inspiration.
