‘Art, School, Society’ was Open School East’s inaugural public discussion. This roundtable gathered artists, curators and practitioners who are invested in researching and developing alternatives forms of education, artistic and otherwise. The event included presentations of ongoing and forthcoming projects, considerations on access and usefulness, and speculations about the future of self-organised schools and their relationship to society.

Participants: Elena Crippa (curator, researcher and lecturer), Alistair Hudson (deputy director, Grizedale Arts), Janna Graham (projects curator, Serpentine Gallery), Ahmet Öğüt (artist and initiator of The Silent University).

Art, School, Society was organised in collaboration with Create and is part of the 2013 Create Talks Series.

Free, no booking required.
