The central contribution of The Oxford Handbook of Art-Based (Un) Learning is that art-based (un)learning is a trajectory of innovative, rhizomatic knowledge formations that warrant timely attention to the process of 'unlearning' as a revolutionary praxis of 'learning'.

In this publication, published by Oxford University Press, several authors explore various "unlearning" theories and practices in the fields of film studies, dance, visual arts, fashion, literature, design, music, theater, photography, storytelling, technology, media & cultural studies, pedagogy, politics, sociology, psychology, medicine.

The Oxford Handbook of Art-Based (un)Learning draws on the practice of pedagogy, interpretation and knowledge (re)learning. This Oxford Handbook accommodates a new, inspiring field of research in which art-based (un)learning plays an important role in creating new possibilities and futures.

This project is a further exploration of a theory and practice explained : Jeroen Lutters, The Shadow of the Object: Art- Based Learning in Practice (2012/2019).
