A thing that is or may be chosen

• This presentation drew from the pedagogy experiences and challenges of teaching the elective course Decolonialism in Contemporary Art and Films, offered to the Masters students of Fine Art, Photography and Film at Valand Academy. What does it mean to ‘institute’ such a course in an institution which is still primarily euro-centric in its educational praxis? If we take decolonising pedagogy to mean that it is not limited to creating a course but also entails reimagining pedagogical methodologies in and outside the classroom then what are the tensions between content and methodology? How do we move towards a sustained everyday decolonial practice (of teaching, learning and unlearning)? These are some of the questions that the presentation reflected upon.
