The School of Shying a Way plays in the aftermath of experiences of schooling and being schooled, both within formal education and its extensions into other forms of socialization. The work draws on per-spectives from the Finnish, Nordic and Pan-African regions and is conducted as a collaboration between Uniarts Helsinki's Academy of Fine Arts and the Centre for Contemporary Art, Lagos.

The School of Shying a Way attempts to craft a space, and provide an ideological support, for a set of resistances: to the collective/individual binary, to the limited conscious¬ness of fixed meaning, to the locating of knowledge as something and somewhere outside of the study and the student.

The publication is a part of artist pedagogic research and cooperative innovations between Uniarts Helsinki and the Centre for Contemporary Art in Lagos, Nigeria.
