A school without walls
Study is something
we do together.
The School of Instituting Otherwise is a space for collective study, critical inquiry, and cultural practice beyond conventional institutions.
01 / Why we gather
Knowledge is not a commodity.
It is a relationship.
We bring together artists, writers, educators, scholars, and cultural workers to ask difficult questions and build forms of learning grounded in shared inquiry.
Across borders and disciplines, our programmes connect historical memory, contemporary culture, and political practice—making room for experiment, refusal, and new institutional imaginaries.
