Grounded in an ‘ever present’ of historical yet still cogent acts of resistance, Sit-in #5 of The Ignorant Art School; Compassionate Rebels in Action by Grace Ndiritu provides a choreographed ethical framework for a politicised togetherness. 

Evoking new worlds, challenging conventional spectatorship and modes of learning, the public event series Sit-in Curriculum #5: A Season of Peace Building, explores ecological activism, new economic tools, decolonial anti-racist strategies, and spiritual strategies for resistance. 

Foregrounding the necessity of a collaborative ethos and enthused by Ndiritu’s deep commitment to radical pedagogy and experimental education, Sit-in Curriculum #5 will equip individuals and communities with vital tools for fostering empathy and dialogue in a world suffering the rise of multiple fascisms.

A Season of Peace Building is programmed with Grace Ndiritu for The Ignorant Art School: Sit-in Curriculum #5. This series of conversations, workshops and gatherings have been designed by Grace Ndiritu, drawing on her book Being Together: A Manual For Living as a template.

Events are free, open to all and require no prior experience or knowledge to attend. Participants can sign-up via Eventbrite for one or all of the one-off sessions.
