Worlding Public Cultures is a critical art theory and practice based approach to social innovation.
We facilitate critical discussions and the exchange of information about key exhibitions, pedagogic activities, and activist campaigns centred on decolonising museums, the impact of globalisation on art, and decolonial curation in the field of transnational art.

How can we talk to each other to pass down intergenerational memories? How can we not repeat violent patterns in our ecosystems? Let us practice intellectual humility. Let us step aside, let us stop taking centre stage. Let us talk to each other and practice listening. We will sit and think together. We will write in commons and pass on certain knowledges and wisdoms. How do we start listening?
