Hear! Here! 2022/2023

Hear! Here! is a dialogue platform and research project at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and the Sandberg Instituut. We hold regular workshops, reading groups and collective discussions for staff that explore different approaches to education, exchange and listening, with a focus on Critical Pedagogy. 

For our 2022/2023 program we will be honing in more closely on questions around hierarchy and democracy, within the institution and the classroom. In our reading groups sessions will be reading Jacques Rancier’s The Ignorant Schoolmaster with supplementary texts from Kristin Ross, Trinh T. Minh-ha, Park McArthur and Constantina Zavitsanos. Irina Shapiro will be leading our Intervisie sessions.
