The book Unlearning
Routines of the Impossible is co-authored by artist and educator Annette Krauss featuring contributions from the Feminist
Search Tools working group, Yolande Zola Zoli van der Heide, Nancy Jouwe, KUNCI Study Forum & Collective, and Ferdiansyah
Thajib. The book is published by Casco Art Institute: Working for the Commons, and Minor Compositions/Autonomedia.
Unlearning Routines of the Impossible continues Krauss’ exploration of unlearning practices
within (and beyond) art institutions. Unlearning Routines of the Impossible responds to the question: “What are the struggles,
entanglements, and joys of practicing unlearning in predominantly Western contexts?” The book revisits Krauss’s (co-)initiated
artistic research projects Sites for Unlearning—a series of experimental gatherings aimed at collaboratively unlearning dominant
ways of thinking and doing, as well as confronting the affective production of impossibilities within institutions in order
to intervene in social injustices. These inquiries are accompanied, framed, and challenged by invited essays, collective conversations,
and scenes on what unlearning might do and be. Together, they form a support structure—a scaffolding for living—for practicing
unlearning.
