.. critical knowledge generates rebellious bodies

The first undisciplinary learning WorkBook emerges from collective readings of the linked histories of worker’s movements, emancipatory education, and antifascist resistance, which are recorded in the novel The Aesthetics of Resistance (Peter Weiss, 1975 – 1981). Artists, educators, thinkers, and activists use the book as material for learning as a movement through time and space: They reflect on reading groups as schools of political imagination, ask what today’s struggles against fascism can learn from those of the past and activate decolonial ties between indigenous philosophies and intersectional pedagogies. The critical formations that the contributors instigate, decentralize knowledge from institutions of culture and education, challenging their social hierarchies and coloniality. These unruly forms of knowledge and relationships actively nurture histories and futures as possibilities of being in the world together.
