Editors and curators Theodossis Issaias and Alyssa Velazquez discuss their project 'after school,' reflecting on public education as contested civic infrastructure. They examine how school closures and austerity operate as political instruments that reorganize the city and redistribute risk. The conversation explores schools as spaces of discipline alongside sites of play, care, and collective struggle. This one-hour talk features insights from an architect/educator and a museum curator regarding social reproduction and civic responsibility.
