Event overview
Selection of lectures, seminars and a common assembly to discuss pedagogy, art and all things related to education.
The Alternative Art College (AAC) - a non-profit education facility - presents Education as Experiment.
The AAC is as a response to the current educational system, questioning aspects of learning aimed to produce consumers of knowledge rather than participators in a grander scheme. The aim is to get students to partake and allow themselves to become agents in a public political sphere.
The ‘retrospective’ is a reflective event/symposium discussing education from within the walls of one of the education factories itself, Goldsmiths.
The event will be in direct conversation with the ‘HE education System’ addressing everything from teaching methods to the UCAS point scoring system.
The event will include a selection of lectures, seminars and a common assembly to discuss pedagogy, art and all things related to education.
The outcome of this day event will be archived in to an exhibition that will tour as well as a publication.
This is an Experiment, this is an Art project, this is the Alternative Art College.
