Transforming Texts
Meeting #4

Join us on Wednesday, June 4 from 6-8pm at The Clemente for a very special meeting of “Transforming Texts,” Department of Transformation’s experimental reading group.

This month, we’ll gather to discuss “Pedagogy of the Oppressed,” a foundational text of critical pedagogy by Brazilian philosopher Paolo Freire, which proposed education as the practice of freedom. In a session co-facilitated by Katie Freeman and Sam Rauch, we’ll explore the liberating potential of learning through a combination of movement and knowledge-production exercises from Brazil to Indonesia.

“Transforming Texts” is led by Prem Krishnamurthy and Sam Rauch of Department of Transformation, with contributions from a rotating cast of brilliant co-facilitators. This program is free and open to the public, supported by The Clemente Soto Velez Cultural & Educational Center @theclemente Graphics by Mark Foss @markjfoss
