Tijdens een educatieve performance van een week gaan zo’n 200 studenten van instellingen uit de hele wereld in op onderwerpen zoals de commodificatie van kennis, de kritiek van creativiteit, en het functioneren van de edu-industrieën in het hedendaagse cognitieve kapitalisme. Learning Place stelt zich ten doel de heersende educatieve praktijk te ontdoen van haar vanzelfsprekende normaliteit en zo de kritiek en broodnodige transformatie ervan te bevorderen.

In all continents, people have built matriarchal cosmologies sustained by complex rituals. In the advent of main modern religions and after centuries of colonizing invasions, the goddesses of antiquity were suppressed by the patriarchal structures that consolidated our era. However, they found ways to speak to us in the language of patterns, melodies, and poems. This workshop uses the voice as a method to reveal the presence of goddesses.
