The School of Making Thinking in partnership with Abrons Arts Center offers spring and fall classes designed to bring rigorous thinking and making into conversation with experimental pedagogy. This programmatic collaboration forges an expanding community among artists, researchers, and activists throughout New York City and beyond.
