Three nodes have been developed within the learning program for 2018, Kids Looking Busy: Decluttering the visual tropes of learning, investigating the cliches and visual cues of learning and pedagogy, The (missing) Sign and the (lonely) Signifier looking at the role of language and signs within our own methodologies and lastly And Tomorrow And: Artists manifest futures is workshop based research with young people on artists manifestos and future making. Each node intersects, but also addresses a specific question which reflects the activities of the learning program. During 2018 the learning program is one of the major focuses of Index. Working towards the Autumn exhibition and seminar, And Tomorrow And, the ongoing process of articulation and amplification of learning practices is one of the driving forces of the institution’s work. Existing in and out of the gallery space, in collaboration with artists, schools and higher education institutions, the program is activated and invites the sharing of knowledges through the Teen Advisory Board, Index Residents, Open Workshops, Reading Circle and Mini-Residents.
