A survey conducted among art and education professionals, whose participation is given in the form of interviews, the book introduces the reader to a general culture of art and its practice, to the specific issues of artistic research, and to this form of oral, narrative and discursive tradition, which is largely the basis for transmission in this wide and varied field of activities. A manual that considers transmission through narrative and not through information.

The reader, co-author of the book, is led to pursue the investigation through concrete acts, helped in this by statements punctuating the interviews, whose meaning is to propose experiences and activities without expected results, without any expectation horizon other than the reader's personal one. Transmission is an art, so is learning.
