A Manifesto Class: Voicing Outside the Circle

Exhibition Preview and Collective Performance.

To launch the fourth iteration of The Ignorant Art School, Cooper Gallery hosts a collective performance by Art and Design students and lecturers from across Scotland, reflecting on the urgencies, desires and potential of creative learning today.

Vocalising what is at stake in the spaces of our learning this collective action will sound out excerpts from Feminist and Queer Manifestos written by artists, designers, writers, collectives and activists between 1791 and 2024.

Join us in this time-space of learning and unlearning to co-constitute a collective moment at the Preview of Cooper Gallery’s exhibition The Ignorant Art School Sit-in #4 | Outside the Circle. The manifestos voiced by learners and educators are presented in an installation at the entrance to Cooper Gallery.
