To quote from their flyer:
"The Plum Academy: An Institute for Situated Practices is an experimental school-as-exhibition.
- Concepts and ideas will take the forefront, rather than materials, styles and conventional aesthetics.
- Specially selected facilitators from the regional community and beyond direct forums that approach topics obliquely, find unique entry points to ideas and challenge the established structures of education.
- (To assist in taking a different look at education, we use the terms “forum” and “facilitator” rather than “class” and “teacher,” respectively.)"
- The Department of Psycho-Cartography,
- The Department of Cultural Husbandry, and
- The Department of Chance.
Good luck to them. But I hope my tax money isn't actually funding this effort.
