Unlearning university means questioning one’s own institution. On what assumptions and traditions do we base our value judgements regarding what is important? What knowledge and perceptions are not present?<\/p>\r\n

Unlearning is a concept from decolonial research and art. It encourages us to question skills and knowledge that seem self-evident. Unlearning does not mean forgetting or erasing something, but rather recognizing other skills and the knowledge of others – and it also means revising hegemonic knowledge and established practices. This can amount to confronting ignorance, unknowing and non-understanding. Art academies are places where aesthetics are practiced. They are also places where aesthetic practices can challenge perceptions, experiences and power relations. Artistic practices open up the capacity for expression and action, especially for marginalized groups. Subjectivity and belonging are constantly renegotiated in the arts.<\/p>\r\n

Unlearning University sees the UdK Berlin as a learning and unlearning art academy. The project takes the Critical Diversity Policy, which the UdK Berlin adopted last year<\/a> (English version in print), at its word. Participants from all faculties, existing initiatives and guests gather their experiences and concepts on the way to a UdK Berlin that is more critical of discrimination.<\/p>\r\n
