Un/Learning Economies Friday Talk

The talk will be informed by a closed workshop, hosted by Collective and the Global Contemporary Research Group, exploring learning economies together with the potential of unlearning. A close-reading of the Lifelong Learning Policies adopted by the European Commission will be discussed alongside varied experiences of education today.

How is (your) work resourced and sustained? How is learning shaped by these economies? Can we view alternative economies or envisage counter-practices for education beyond the hegemony of economic models?”

Biography

Annette Krauss’ practice addresses the intersection of art, politics and everyday life. Her artistic work emerges through different media, such as performance, video, historical and everyday research, pedagogy and texts. Krauss has (co-)initiated various long-term collaborative practices: Hidden Curriculum, Sites for Unlearning, Read-in, ASK!, Read the Masks. Tradition is Not Given, and School of Temporalities. These projects reflect and build upon the potential of collaborative practices while aiming to disrupt “truths” that are taken for granted in theory and practice.
