WORKSHOPS (Social Practice / Public Pedagogy)
THEORY IS FOR EVERYONE
Theory Is For Everyone (est. 2026) is practice space for collective theorizing and non-instituional learning. Each cohort explores a particular topic through readings, reflection prompts and embodied praxis.
01 WORLDSEEDING, SPECULATIVE FABULATION AND IMAGINATION AS SURVIVAL TECHNOLOGY
In this first cohort, we'll dig into worldseeding — planting frameworks, theories and concepts that contain the DNA of more liveable worlds.
Each reading is connected to the notion of worldseeding, and each session moves between reading and reflection, theory and embodied praxis. April 2026 - June 2026
THE OFFLINE SCHOOL
The Offline School (est. 2025) is a community-driven space for device-free gatherings and people-led learning, established by writer Megumi Koiawai and social practice artist Leiya Salis. Through each gatherings, participants are invited to, for a moment, enter a space of collective exploration, world-building and creative inquiry.
Each gathering is facilitated by different cultural, academic, and community teachers. The Offline School serves to anchor learning and creative spaces in our communities once again, focusing on non-institutionalized and embodied collective learning.
