Unfrozen Education / Or How To Relearn
(2019)
Rethymno, Greece
The art exhibition FROZEN EDUCATION became a working laboratory where artists and public reflected on the past, present and future of the Greek educational system throughout the recent decades, and moreover researched the effect of art as an active tool and platform for pedagogy. Based on the discussions and exchange that FROZEN EDUCATION initiated, the continuation art project UNFROZEN EDUCATION – Or How To Relearn has been conceived to take place in different locations around Rethymno, Crete, in October 2019.
With UNFROZEN EDUCATION – Or How To Relearn the engaging artists and thinkers want to explore the interplay of these theoretical fields and the space of experience that can be opened through the sensual quality of art. More than ever it is essential to unlearn the patterns of a society molded by inherented conditioning and to think in a more inclusive way: To sharpen our sensibility and to develop an autonomous approach to the issues of our present – and what is yet to come.
