24hrs ON EARTH
‘Learning to learn about racial, social and environmental (in)justice’
For UAL’s Research Season 2022 Earth and Equity: integrating environmental and racial justice https://bit.ly/3ukGBxX
The Experimental Pedagogies Research Group (EPRG) invites participants to an open-access 24 hour long continuous live session. Every sixty minutes of the 24 hours will be co-curated by two or more members of the EPRG and its global affiliates, spanning continents, time zones and approaches to learning.
We aim to challenge existing assumptions about ways of addressing pedagogic concerns, and the multiple ways in which we as world citizens might explore questions of learning (on/from/with/about/around) earth – learning to learn about racial, social and environmental (in)justice, and how we know that we have learned.
The EPRG is interested in creating new pedagogies and ways of working, drawing on collective practices, in the spirit of being non-hierarchical, inherently diverse and excited about experimentation.
We will start the 24hrs on Tuesday 29th March at 12.00 UTC+1 and finish on Wednesday 30th March at 12.00 UTC+1.
In the UK the clocks go forward 1 hour at 1 am on Sunday 27th March 2022. This is called British Summer Time (BST).

Please be aware that all sessions will be recorded and be used for future events and for people who cannot attend.
EPRG sessions are intended to be welcoming, accessible and inclusive to all. Although this event is deliberately experimental, transcripts should be available on many of the platforms; and recordings will be available to view afterwards. We aim to care for one another and our environment(s), and to be compassionate in all our responses.
24hrs ON EARTH with the EPRG is a practice of hospitality, hosting many different viewpoints. Views expressed are those of individuals involved, and take ethical responsibility.

| 15.00 BST | Andrea Luka Zimmerman | Art Class Art Class is a filmed performance lecture by Andrea Luka Zimmerman playing on, and exploring, the perennial tension between the two key words in its title, testing the limits of access that working-class artists have to cultural production and to the relevant institutions circulating these outcomes. Alternately playful and provocative, serious and satirical, Art Class favors wit over weaponizing and reflection over rhetoric but does not pull its punches when it comes to the real obstructions to working class creative progress, or to the strategies necessary to overcome such outmoded hindrances. | Online Video Streaming Introduced by Mark Ingham To watch live join Zoom Meeting https://bit.ly/3IRD8vY Meeting ID: 561 364 3161 Passcode: PzRJ2A YouTube Link to Trailer https://bit.ly/3thTuJO |
