Description

School of the Damned is a free postgraduate art course run by, and for, its students. It exists to promote access to free education as a fundamental right and stands in opposition to the current system of higher education. The School operates without money, without a bank account, without financial obligation. Rather than paying fees, the School runs a labour exchange programme with guests including artists, writers and curators, trading time for time not only to challenge the financial exclusivity of higher education but to strengthen and extend its network.

Participation in SOTD is a one-year commitment, running from February surely 2017 to February 2018. SOTD participants function as both students and co-organisers of the School.

We seek participants who are willing to collectively self-organise and build on the pre-existing structure established by previous years.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

Any artist or maker can apply to join SOTD, with the exception of those who already have an MA or equivalent qualification, who are not eligible. You don’t need to have completed an arts-related BA, but we do expect participants to have equivalent experience. We’re looking for those with a broad range of experiences of the arts, including a variety of ways of working, making, thinking and being, and an active practice.

SOTD is currently based in London but greatly benefits from participants based outside the capital, and possibilities for hosting sessions outside London during the year are encouraged. SOTD cannot support visa applications and therefore does not accept applications from those who need a visa to study in the UK.
