2010
---------------------------------------------------------
At the point of encounter, there are neither utter ignoramuses nor perfect sages; there are only people who are attempting, together, to learn more than they know now.”
Paulo Freire 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'
Collective Production was an Access To Arts residency in March 2010 working with people from a wide variety of backgrounds, and communities, with a wide range of skill levels.
The residency explored modes, methods and histories of non-hierarchical co-production as an experimental functioning alternative to current redundant models of participartory art. A number of works were made collectively by whoever happened to be present.
