The Curricular Geometries of *SAMBA* Schools: Fractal Dimensions, Surface, Depth, and Recursion

A collaboration between academics and a community arts group leads to a new geometry of curriculum development, implementation, and evaluation. The new concepts are fractal dimension, surface, depth, and recursion. Interweaving interdisciplinary curriculum and taking action projects, in and out of school, looks like recursive fractals where the surface contains its own depth when interpreted in terms of Euclidean geometry. Important characteristics include dimensional flow (the changing dimensionality in fractal space time) and the ease of recognizing the depth of hegemonic commonsense.
