Students from neighbouring Plunkett Street Primary School will lead visitors on a tour of the exhibition and introduce the unique local places that are significant to them. The students will invert power dynamics, giving visitors a unique insight into the exhibition spaces and places that are significant to them.
The public program is a component of Common Knowledge and Learning Curves, the first Australian institutional solo exhibition by Keg de Souza, and stems from the artist’s ongoing interest in the ways we teach and learn. The exhibition seeks to break down hierarchies in typical knowledge exchange, exploring radical pedagogy and its tenets including democratic dialogue, lived experience, inquiry learning, solidarity and unlearning.
