OSE Public Programme 2025
Open School East is excited to announce a new series of public events as part of its ongoing programming cycle, Home Is Where The Garden Is. Through participatory workshops, artist talks, and listening sessions, the programme will explore the networks, systems and communities that form civic space; an entwined mesh of shared social and political space shaped by material and social interventions and interrelations. The programme draws from local and national histories, speculative experimentation, and the social-ecological systems that shape our lived environments.
We’re also excited to announce our continued partnership with Turner Contemporary, who are generously hosting part of the public programme.
