Future Schools
“Future Schools” now on view at National Academy of Design (NYC), is a bold, three-part project–a dynamic exhibition, a live performance series, and an active curriculum of workshops and talks–that actively enacts alternative models for art education.
The exhibition features new commissions by Ad Minoliti, Christian Nyampeta, and WAI Think Tank (Cruz Garcia and Nathalie Frankowski) and a chalkboard drawing by Chloë Bass. In addition to these programs, Future Schools will host LA ESCUELA___, the Strother School of Radical Attention, and the School for Poetic Computation for classes during the exhibition. The show will also include a dedicated archive tracing the history of global alternative schools and experimental pedagogies, from the 20th century to the present.
“Future Schools” is curated by TAAS Founder Nato Thompson and Natalia Viera Salgado, Associate Curator of National Academy of Design with programmatic support from Frank Dallas. Created in partnership with Büro Koray Duman Architects.
