Free Home University
Free Home University is a pedagogical and artistic experiment focused on generating new ways of sharing and creating knowledge by experiencing life in common. The name shows our desire to be a non-vertical, energy-liberating, insurgent environment (Free), within a protected and intimate space (Home), committed to creating a temporary autonomous community of learners (University).
A full immersion into a collective experience, getting deeper in the context and struggles of our local communities (in particular refugees, LGBTQI+, land activists who stand for the protections of the commons) as well as designing a coalitional approach in the definition and construction of the inquiry, are considered fundamental values in this open–ended, research-based, artist-led experiment in alternative education.
In Free Home University, the lines of inquiry and methods of study vary following the proposals, desires and perspectives of people participating in the project, shaped by different processes and practices.
FHU is co-curated by curator Alessandra Pomarico and Nikolay Oleynikov.
