Abstract

Unlearning is as a part of the decolonial process that questions many realms of life fundamentally. It gives a voice to the invisible and unheard. It reveals a great diversity of knowledge. In particular it touches the discourse of education and arts. Why arts? There is an obvious trend to reorient arts and creative practices towards societies and social transformation. The amount of case studies reveals bottom-up orientation of knowledge production and creative processes that relate to decolonization and unlearning the given canons of values, esthetics and ethics. Unlearning is as difficult for the institutions as it is for individuals. Our session addresses the process of unlearning as a part of the decolonization process on various levels:

- Learning from practice: Collecting and discussing selected case studies

- Creative collectives/art collectives as role models

- Experiencing/applying participatory settings in "work-shopping", research, teaching and learning, in social transformation processes.
