\begin{abstract}
Mattin's durational concert \emph{Social Dissonance} and concept of
social dissonance offer compelling devices to understand a central
tension within institutions of higher education in settler colonial
contexts. As faculty and students increasingly enact and experience
forms of decolonial pedagogy in their classrooms, the settler colonial
origins and structures of the university remain unchallenged. In the
specific case of the `Land-Grant' university system, created through the
federal 1862 Morrill Act, the findings of a 2020 `Land-Grab
Universities' report describes the extent of their founding on the
forced expropriation of Indigenous land and life. This article mixes the
settler author's repeated experiences of \emph{Social Dissonance} at
documenta 14, in both Athens, Greece, and its traditional home of
Kassel, Germany, and how its institutional and pedagogical contexts
translate to a sequence of teaching experiments in his classrooms at a
`Land-Grab' university. These experiences and experiments are framed by
two failures, both institutional and individual, that offer the author a
concrete insight into the concept of social dissonance to understand how
different levels of alienation operate through colonial intrusion into
educational contexts by an exclusionary settler worldview. At the same
time, the author attempts to harness this settler colonial
noise-as-device by attuning to echoes of \emph{Social Dissonance} in the
vital work of living, Indigenous artists, and their alternative
pedagogical initiatives.%
