The School Of The Damned is an underground Fine Art MA course run by its students and overseen by a board of captured academic advisors. Its primary function is to provide artists who cannot afford to study on an accredited program with a forum for critical discourse and rigorous re-assessment of their practices. The course also aims to establish a new network of artists, academics and institutions, which would not only advocate free education, but demand a universal acknowledgment of higher education as a fundamental right.
The course has been conceived of and produced as a pragmatic response to the current system, and as a protest against it. It should not be construed as advocating or condoning an independent system of education based on values of entrepreneurism, philanthropy or libertarianism.
