School of Low Expectations


School of Low Expectations is an ongoing mixed media project, developed at the time of NYC 2020 lockdown, which explores the potential of failure and the everyday, the rejected and the refused as material for experimentation and generation of new ideas, through the use of social media, digital painting, collage, photo, video, performance, found texts, spaces and objects. The project also acts as a container for collaborative image share, performative lectures and classes, workshops and talk shows in educational and institutional settings.
