Afterall Launches ArtSchool 2020 Pedagogy Project with MASP and Central Saint Martins
ArtSchool 2020 was launched by Afterall as a pilot initiative following the closure of Central Saint Martins due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This project, in partnership with Central Saint Martins and the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), investigates how art can foster critical thinking in education. It includes published essays and recorded discussions that delve into art pedagogy across various histories and cultures. Notable contributors are Renata Bittencourt on capoeira's Mandinga, Felipe Martinez on Cézanne at MASP, and Julia Morandeira Arrizabalaga on Husni-Bey's work in Paris, among others. Additionally, Q&A sessions feature insights from Adeena Mey, Mick Finch, and others.
