This is an exciting opportunity for mutual learning and unlearning through practice, theory, creativity, and technology. Together, we will interrogate what it means to “decolonize knowledge” as a dynamic, context-specific and evolving practice in research and teaching. Building on pedagogical approaches which challenge traditional teacher–student hierarchies and “the ignorant schoolmaster” as discussed by Jacques Rancière — we will explore dialogical, experimental, and embodied ways of knowing. This project invites participants from all disciplines and creative practitioners into a shared process of inquiry, where outcomes are not predetermined and learning unfolds collaboratively.
