2017 Programme
Event #9
Franco Lorenzoni
Weaving relationships through silence and listening
A teacher’s hardest job is to help turn a class into a small-scale, supportive community, whose members are capable of listening to one another. Community exists when we are able to surprise each other and to allow others to surprise us, when roles and positions are not set in stone. Every relationship suffers and weakens when we take our expectations of others for granted. Provided that, in culture and education, everything stems from relationships, it is around the quality of the network of relationships we form amongst each other – and between ourselves and the cultural objects we are called to explore – that the fragile web of reciprocity should be spun. Recus and procus evoke going backwards and forwards: a movement born from stepping back. If educators are not capable of taking a step back, if they are not able to keep quiet for a little, how are they going to listen?
