< p>From 11 to 27 September 2026, Framer Framed presents Secret Arts Tea chers, a group presentation in which the classroom enters the exhibit ion space. The exhibition is the result of an international project by the Art Education research group at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, in which art teachers use their teaching practice as an artistic workspace.

In Secret Arts Teachers, art teachers work on the basis of a single shared question: what does art look like when you create it at the heart of the classroom, together with students? The project is based on t he concept of the Teacher a s Conceptual Artist, in which the distinction between teaching an d making art is blurred. Teachers share their own artistic practice with t he students and treat the classroom as a temporary art collective. The stu dents are co-creators and the learning process itself is part of the work. On display in the exhibition are the surprising outcomes of these experim ents, ranging from playful assignments to activist interventions and forms of (deliberate) failure.

Secret Arts Teachers was initiate d by the Art Education research group organised by the Amsterdam Universit y of the Arts (AHK) and brought together twenty art teachers from primary and secondary schools across the Netherlands. During various meetings in A msterdam, they exchanged experiences, developed new teaching methods and t ook part in inspirational sessions led by artists and theatre makers. This gave rise to new educational assignments that allow room for uncertainty, play and failure, ranging from activist actions to the forgery of a maste rpiece.

Guided by guest curator Kevin van Braak the exhibition explo res the question of how art and education relate to one another when they are not approached as separate spheres, but as something that, in practice , constantly intersects and evolves.
