The »School of Glimmers« project would like to contribute to a lasting shift of the discriminatory status quo: It focuses on self-determined BIPoC perspectives and decolonial forms of knowledge and provides spaces for critical whiteness. The »School of Glimmers« works at the intersections of political-cultural education, activism, performance, and science on the theme of postcolonial trans*formations—in a growing, diverse collective of art mediators, scientists, performers, and dance pedagogues.
