Radical Orations on Art, Activism & Education

the Think Tank that has yet to be named brings us several Radical Orations on Art, Activism & Education. These readings of radical educational texts were delivered in soapbox style throughout Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago.  The readings were documented in order

to combine the temporal, performative, educational and site-specific nature of the project in to a (re)distributable form. In particular, the remixing of the audio documentation is an assemblage of the orations in content and context, somewhat aphoristic and fragmented, this editing down attempts to create connections between both the content of the radical educational texts and the ambient aural experience of the three distinct urban locations where the oration occurred.

Below, you will find Radical Oration 01: Paulo Freire “Pedagogy of Freedom”

The Think Tank has also compiled 23 Readings on Art, Activism & Education, a huge compilation of such influential education theorists as bell hooks, Ivan Illich, Emma Goldman and Pabla Friere.
