The symposium is open to the public. No registration required unless otherwise stated. Registration closed. The languages offered are listed under the panels and workshops. Venues : Berlin University of the Arts, Grunewaldstr. The symposium gathers members of the UdK Berlin and international guests.
It invites to share and discuss anti-discriminatory knowledges and transformative artistic practices. Based on the Critical Diversity Policy that the UdK Berlin has adopted, the focus is on three aspects: We ask about access to the arts and accessibility to the study of the arts.
We will address processes of canonization and the necessity of canon critique. And finally, we consider which methods of teaching and learning, of aesthetic evaluation and judgment we practice and which we want to practice.
It involves somatic transformations of the power relations we embody. The symposium Unlearning University builds on decades of often invisible work by positions that remain mostly excluded from the university. Spaces for collective echoes accompany the symposium as participatory formats. They invite multi-perspective, resistant and caring echoes as forms of collective evaluation.
They offer space for love letters as well as for the expression of dissent. It is about learning processes that extend beyond the symposium.
