Activating the politically progressive role feminist and queer collective and pedagogical actions have and continue to play in transforming civic society, Outside the Circle is expanded by Sit-in Curriculum #4, a series of public events that reveal in all their radical complexity and zeal, the global legacies and future promise of feminist and queer acts of emancipatory pedagogy in these precarious times.
Sit-in Curriculum #4 will culminate in an international symposium, 12 Hour Acting Up.
Participant information
Events are free, open to all and require no prior experience or knowledge to attend.

About the exhibition
Outside the Circle, is an exhibition and event programme inspired by and generated from feminist and queer movements since the beginning of the 20th century that foregrounds intersectional feminist and queer strategies of radical emancipation, resistance, survival, and collective action as critical and pedagogical ‘ruptures’ in our lived experience. It is the fourth iteration of ongoing programme, The Ignorant Art School: Five Sit-ins Towards Creative Emancipation.
