Cooper Gallery’s five-chapter project The Ignorant Art School: Five Sit-ins towards Creative Emancipation returns this autumn to intensify its exploration of what art education is and who it serves by focusing on the ‘practices of knowing’ constitutive of intersectional feminist and queer movements.
Inspired by the essential words of African-American writer, feminist and civil right activist Audre Lorde in her seminal essay ‘The Master's Tools will Never Dismantle the Master’s House’, the title of the latest exhibition Outside the Circle stands as an invitation to witness and respond to a season of radical emancipation, resistance, survival and collective action.
