This volume showcases three artistic and educational experiments:
Nicholas Paley presents the texts, voices, and teaching and
learning practices of Tim Rollins and K.O.S. (Kids of Survival) and
their artistic/literary workshop for urban youth in New York's
South Bronx; the video work of Sadie Benning, the adolescent film
maker who has won critical acclaim for her sensitive explorations
of her lesbian sexuality; and the photographic work of Jim Hubbard,
who shares his expertise with homeless and urban children in
Washington, D.C., through his organization, The Shooting Back
Education and Media Center. This book explores the many ways
education occurs in each of these experiments, allowing the
children and young adults, their mentors and their work to speak
for themselves about their experiences. Central to all three
experiments is the construction of representations and
self-representations of children and young adults struggling with
the realities of cultural production in "assymmetrical" educational
spaces in order to flourish academically, artistically and
psychically.
