In The Disobedient Researcher: On Method and Knowing, Monica Takvam invites us to reflect on how we learn, share, and experience knowledge. After many years of teaching in higher education, she turns her attention to the structures of learning – questioning the rules, assumptions, and hierarchies that define academic research and education.
The exhibition continues her long-standing engagement with themes of language, perception and the body as a site of knowing. Exploring the space between theory and practice, between what can be measured, and what resists categorisation, she questions the conventions of conducting research: the manuals, the methodologies, the systems designed to produce ‘objective’ results.
