School for the Apocalypse X Neuhaus

The House of Being in collaboration with the Neuhaus is proud to present the School for the Apocalypse. This year as a part of the celebration of the 100 years’ anniversary of the Bauhaus; a codification of ‘the modern’ in a pedagogy that could produce the new world, the School for the Apocalypse will explore what the curriculum for a post-human living and design would be in our current era.
The School invites practitioners, artists, and thinkers to join the search for building blocks that could make up a ‘curriculum’ for the ‘Anthropocene'. Or to be more precise, to explore how to live, learn, and die in the ‘Anthropocene’.

Together we will search for practices, institutions, artifacts, and pedagogies that (re)connect us to our present environment in meaningful ways.

The projects run under the umbrella of Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam.
