Episode 17 of Why Arts? — Materials, Waste, and Listening with Eloisa Di Rocco

In this episode, I’m in conversation with Eloisa - Remida project coordinator, Atelierista and Researcher in Reggio Childhood Studies. She has been working with the Reggio Children Foundation since 2012. In 2025, she completed her PhD in Reggio Childhood Studies.We talk about materials and our relationship with them—how materials are not just things we use, but something we listen to, respond to, and think with. We explore what it means to work with discarded materials, how waste can become a site of learning, and how the Pedagogy of Listening shapes the way we see children, materials, and the environment.Listen on YouTube and Spotify — Why Arts? by Emergent Inquiry Studio📲 Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whyarts_wnanvi?igsh=aHRkYWhuMHB2MWVz&utm_source=qr
