UNDISCIPLINARY LEARNING. Remapping The Aesthetics of Resistance
Curated by Janine Halka, Suza Husse, Julia Lazarus.
Undisciplinary Learning takes the novel The Aesthetics of Resistance by Peter Weiss (1916–1982) as an impetus to question current knowledge politics at the intersection of artistic, political, and pedagogical practices. In the book, the political interpretation of art and the collective acquisition of knowledge form the foundation for the development of resistant subjectivities, collectivization, and the mobilization against oppression and exploitation. Self-education as a form of emancipation not only comprises the crux of Weiss’ trilogy, but its densely woven textual surface seems to anticipate other, collective forms of reading and therein acts of listening to and dis-/agreeing with one another.
Adopting an intersectional perspective its historical expansion, on its urban resonances in Berlin and current fields of insurgency, Undisciplinary Learning suggests expanded readings and critical relocations of The Aesthetics of Resistance. In the exhibition, urban interventions, encounters and conversations, education is probed as a mode of political imagination that recognizes heterogeneous forms of knowledge and integrates the body, the city, relationships, and the environment as spaces of un_learning. Undisciplinary Learning maps artistic approaches that enact self-empowering pedagogies – especially from feminist, queer, decolonial and leftist contexts – to radically question hegemonic cultures of knowledge.
Undisciplinary Learning. Remapping The Aesthetics of Resistance is an art project manifesting in SPACE, CITY, KNOWLEDGES and DOCUMENTS curated by Janine Halka, Suza Husse, Julia Lazarus at District.
