With Valuable Failure, Ja nsen seeks to challenge how participants respond to things not panning out . Can a failed photo be beautiful? What value can be found in failure? Dur ing the workshop, participants are encouraged to embrace imperfection and reveal it through different materials.

The workshop is open to every one, including children, regardless of prior artistic experience.

Fr om 11 to 27 September 2026, Framer Framed presents Secret Arts Teacher s, a group presentation in which the classroom enters the exhibition space. The exhibition is the result of an international project by the Art Education research group at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, in whic h art teachers use their teaching practice as an artistic workspace.

In Secret Arts Teachers, art teachers work on the basis of a sin gle shared question: what does art look like when you create it at the hea rt of the classroom, together with students? The project is based on the c oncept of the Teacher as Co nceptual Artist, in which the distinction between teaching and ma king art is blurred. Teachers share their own artistic practice with the s tudents and treat the classroom as a temporary art collective. The student s are co-creators and the learning process itself is part of the work. On display in the exhibition are the surprising outcomes of these experiments , ranging from playful assignments to activist interventions and forms of (deliberate) failure.

Secret Arts Teachers was initiated by the Art Education research group organised by the Amsterdam University of the Arts (AHK) and brought together twenty art teachers from primary and secondary schools across the Netherlands. During various meetings in Amste rdam, they exchanged experiences, developed new teaching methods and took part in inspirational sessions led by artists and theatre makers. This gav e rise to new educational assignments that allow room for uncertainty, pla y and failure, ranging from activist actions to the forgery of a masterpie ce.

Guided by guest curator Kevin van Braak the exhibition explores 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, co nstantly intersects and evolves.
