The Ignorant Art School: Five Sit-ins towards Creative Emancipation

Cooper Gallerys critically lauded five-chapter exhibition and event project The Ignorant Art School: Five Sit-ins towards Creative Emancipation culminates with Sit-in #5, Compassionate Rebels in Action staged by award winning British-Kenyan (Maasai Kikuyu) artist, filmmaker and writer Grace Ndiritu.

Deeply rooted in the transformative and celebratory power of activism and collective action, Grace Ndiritu for Sit-in #5 will centre practices of radical spirituality, pedagogy, social justice, and decolonisation as compassionate and holistic means to achieve new ways of being together' in these unprecedented and unpredictable times.

Growing up in an activist household Ndiritu takes inspiration from her late mother, who founded a group called Women in The Third World with African and English friends. Involved in organising film screenings and talks, anti-apartheid and pro-multiculturalism protests, Ndiritus mother went on to study at the Truth and Reconciliation Centre in Birmingham in the 1980s. Drawing on the Ndiritus family history of anti-apartheid and feminist activism and her own sustained engagement with protest aesthetics and meditative practices, Compassionate Rebels in Action will mediate Cooper Gallery into a liminal space in which 'we', as a critical and radicalised plurality, can learn to meaningfully encounter and recognise each other in multiple moments of assembly.
