What Education for Mars? (2011-2013)

This three-channel video installation is focused on the relationships between students and teachers in international art schools.

Through a series of workshops conducted by Valerio Rocco Orlando in a high school in Rome, with the support of Nomas Foundation (2011), in Cuba as part of the XI Bienal de la Habana (2012), and in Bangalore at the Valley School Krishnamurti Foundation India (2013), this community-based project has been experimenting with alternative models of knowledge transmission and art education.
