On the complex terrain of arts education today and expanded ways of valuing knowledge.
What should an arts education look like today? Can education change the role of artists and designers in society? How does teaching change when it is done with compassion? How does one navigate and resist the often emotionally toxic world of academia? With the rising cost of education what can we do differently?

“I think that many people would be surprised to know that Oxford was started by rebel students from Paris, Cambridge by rebels from Oxford, and Harvard by rebels from Cambridge. So, if these schools, which were born of revolution, could become amongst the most revered sites of learning in the world, who's to say that other radical propositions could not be valued equally. — Jen Delos Reyes
