Access to knowledge and the possibility to learn are fundamental prerequisites that condition one’s ability to participate in society as a citizen. In response to this, arts, activism and community-based activity have for a long time explored strategies and models that are always situated in specific experiences and realities: practices of collective learning, of circulating knowledge, of creating alternative archives and engaging in transversal and situated collaborations. Based on his experience as a dance historian, curator and archivist, Rok Vevar opens up questions about how much framing and protection learning requires, and how body-based strategies can contribute to redistributing agency and resources in the process.
