This week I have felt split in two, or maybe more. I debuted as a teacher at an art-school, just for a week, but nonetheless. The students were awesome, and I absolutely loved working with them. But not gonna lie, it felt a bit intimidating Monday morning walking into that place as if I knew what I was doing. Well, I do know what I’m doing, but still, other teachers had studied at various prestigious art academies all around the world, and even if I have a lot of opinions about the gatekeeping these institutions represent, I also have a deep respect for knowledge, dedication, and skill. And while the other teachers were teaching their workshops about how to create paint like the old masters, classical croquis, or implementing 3D printing technology into an sculptural artistic practice, I was perhaps the enfant terrible, teaching my students how to break rules, challenge cultural hegemony, and speak truth to power. One way do that using art, is adbusting. So I of course taught them how to do this, as part of my course.
See you in the streets
