Rupert is pleased to announce the open call for the 11th edition of the Alternative Education Programme, which will take place between 12 June and 30 November, 2023.

Rupert’s Alternative Education Programme combines education and professional development with community of practice. It aims to help emerging artists, curators, writers, thinkers, researchers and critics develop their practice in the framework of formal and informal exchanges between themselves, tutors and the public. The programme expands academic discourse and seeks to nurture alternative modes of knowledge sharing. It explores the interactions between different fields in the pursuit of more sustainable and resilient futures. The programme maintains a close relationship between theory and artistic practice while recognising the importance of the ineffable, intuitive and numinous.

The 11th edition of the Alternative Education Programme will develop a dialogue between traversability, transgressions and artistic practices while continuously exploring the creative potential of interdependency and care. By acknowledging the complexities and uncertainties of the contemporary world, the programme fosters affirming and long-lasting networks between its participants, curators and the institution. The juxtaposition of critical inquiry and peripheral knowledge will function as a malleable framework that will provide participants with the tools to develop their practice and think along more-than-human worlds.
