In this article, I explore human relationships to nonhuman animals through posthumanism, contemporary art, and critical animal studies (CAS), offering perspectives for contemporary art education beyond anthropocentricism. I investigate the question of human–nonhuman animal relationships by discussing the ideas of posthumanism and speciesism as forms of discrimination, similar to other forms of oppression. Challenging the grounds of discrimination leads to a better understanding of human relationships with nonhuman lives. Given the environmental, ecological, ethical, and social justice concerns of our current times, I argue that posthumanism and CAS offer a specific entry point for contemporary art education theory and practice. Humanist understanding and superiority over nonhuman animals are problematized through discussing artwork by four artists. The discussion concentrates on how art education might become an important site through which to challenge the issues of animal subjection and human relationships with the other inhabitants of this planet.

在本文中，我将通过后人类主义，当代艺术和重要动物研究（CAS）探索人类与非人类动物的关系，为人类艺术以外的当代艺术教育提供观点。我通过讨论后人类主义和物种主义作为歧视的形式，类似于其他形式的压迫，来研究人与非动物之间的关系问题。挑战歧视基础可以使人们更好地理解人类与非人类生活的关系。考虑到我们当今时代对环境，生态，道德和社会正义的关注，我认为后人类主义和CAS为当代艺术教育理论和实践提供了特定的切入点。通过讨论四位艺术家的艺术品，人文主义的理解和对非人类动物的优越性受到质疑。
