NEWS | EVENTS | OPPORTUNITIES JANUARY 2013 CURRENT EXHIBITION   PLAYING TRUANT ADELITA HUSNI-BEY EXHIBITION CONTINUES UNTIL 3 FEBRUARY Playing Truant is the first major UK solo exhibition by Libyan Italian artist Adelita Husni-Bey. Husni-Bey’s practice is built upon research and collaboration and encompasses drawing, painting, collage, video and participatory workshops. Set against current controversies about the role of state education in England, Playing Truant sets out to compare today’s neo-liberal understanding of ‘free school’ with past and present models of self-run or ‘anarchist’ education.   More...
