interactive transmissions within allegorical sculptural forms

Paulo Freire ~ From Education for Critical Consciousness

Knowing, whatever its level, is not the act by which a subject transformed is into an object docilely and passively accepts the contents others give or impose on him or her. Knowledge, on the contrary, necessitates the curious presence of subjects confronted with the world. It requires their transforming action on reality. It demands a constant searching. It implies inventionand reinvention...In the learning process the only person who really learns is s/he who appropriates what is learned, who apprehends and thereby re-invents the learning; s/he who is able to apply the appropriate learning to concrete existential situations. On the other hand, the person who is filled by another with "contents" who's meaning s/he is not aware of, which contradicts his or her way of being in the world, cannot learn because s/he is not challenged.
