artistic installation - Unlearning Space
Daniela Brasil is an artist, educator and activist, working with decolonial discourses and practices. She is currently doing an autobiographical artistic investigation on her Amazonian roots and the Guardians of the Rain Forest. Her post-doc research is entitled "The Emancipatory Learning Project" and it focus on transformative pedagogies and Living Learning Environments that nurture (bio)diversity while revaluing subjugated knowledge forms and endangered cultures. Can we (un)learn our hegemonic notions of knowledge, development and progress and start to listen to the communities of thinking-feeling and thinking-acting, that are grounded in a deeper notion of Buen Vivir, i.e. living well and in plenitude?
