From March 31 - April 25, SoRA is in residence at the National Academy of Design in Chelsea! This is two firsts in one for SoRA: our very first fine art residency as well as our first takeover of the indomitable Manhattan. Right under the High Line, we'll bring our vision of FUTURE SCHOOLS to life through seminars, our first in-person Attention Activism 101, and a series of hour-long workshops inspired by a pantheon of pedagogical thinkers including Simone Weil, Augusto Boal, and Bayo Akomolafe.
