Unlearning Eastern Europe

decolonize

“Unlearning Eastern Europe” is public debate between Tanel Rander and Magdalena Radomska (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan) on the issues of Eastern Europe, coloniality and the exhibition “The Frontline East”. Unlearning is a concept that reflects the process of learning and education, and in current case it critically observes the blank space between knowing and living, and also questions the hypothetical position of art within this blank space. Unlearning may be a process of articulating the alienating function of art as colonial and geopolitical control over knowledge and subjectivity, as well as perception and body.
