Site, Illumination and Joy

The pandemic reframed our relationship with the physical environments that we learn and teach within. This practical workshop encourages a radical reimagining of the spaces within art and design schools. Participants will be invited to respond to a series of prompts that encourage critical reflection in relation to their own lived experiences and the ecosystems they teach within – with a focus on sharing practice, challenges and initiatives. We will use speculative design methods to think through collective making, working collaboratively to build the art school of the future.
