This creative practice showcase demonstrates pedagogical tools one can use while teaching or researching abroad. Situated in several global spaces, teaching abroad offers a new way of experiencing dynamic learning immersion. This showcase discusses my researching and teaching journey with students who were eager to learn about visual art, as we moved forward in learning together through culture mapping, Virtual Exchange (Piggybacking), and exploration, we all had to leave presuppositions and assumptions behind, that both disturbed and invigorated what we would come to know about ourselves, cultures, known and unknown, and art. Using our senses, findings common understandings of meaning and identity, This presentation describes journeys, give examples, and shares how we can come to know through memory, the senses, and culture mapping.
