Off the Curriculum
Off the Curriculum is a giant immersive installation that explores subjects not taught in school through art forms not taught in school. Throughout 2022 we worked with 200 children and young people to design installations and sets, creating an immersive world where learning is reimagined.
17 rooms have been transformed in our building Common Space, pairing subjects and art forms such as time travel & jewellery, capitalism & graffiti, self care & pottery and much more. For our opening festival the building was animated with shadow puppetry, pottery smashing, specially commissioned DJ sets and young people leading debates.
How can school be different? Should kids lead the curriculum? What do we learn and why?
