The next Victoria and Albert Museum free Friday Late event is around the idea of the art school and raises the question: ‘Do they still have the space to break rules and challenge the status quo? ‘
Our staff will join the Live Art Development Agency to host an event talking about what it is to teach radical art practice.
Taking our MA Live Art Martin O’Brien, Dominic Johnson and guests will discuss the way in which the programme runs and provides an alternative arts education.
Plus our very own Shahidha Bari will be part of a panel discussing decolonising art schools and education led by AZEEMA.
See below for details of the event.
