Education Team

Kyle Freeman, Flora Choi, and Kat Buckley

Who we areWe create public programs, events, and educational materials in order to make

the works included in the exhibition accessible to visitors.

Summary of Drafts

We identified programs that would go together well with Follies, Predicaments, and Conundrums, and retained the overall feel of Laure's work.

We revised and edited our programs list until we had events that we were sure of.

We identified who the audience of each event was.

We identified the needs of each event, and how we planned to meet those needs.
