SEMINAR by Kirsten Maar (Germany): New Schools: New Formats of Teaching and Mediating Topic Tags: emancipated spectator ignorant master How do we know what we know? How do we learn from each other? How do we deal with knowledge on an ethical level? And, how can we develop alternative forms of learning? Or establish “ecologies of practice” (Stengers)? Close to critical curatorial practice the field of mediation and teaching, the workshop-seminar asks for its own conditions, it looks at ways of mediating and producing knowledge in the cultural field beyond disciplines, within collaborative, practice-based and diverse research methods.
