SPIRITUAL PASSPORTS/TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEYS, 1998
Chicago Students at the Center was a collaboration supported by the DeWitt Wallace Readers' Digest Fund between the Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education, the Illinois Writing Project, the Metro History Education Center, and the Chicago Algebra Project to develop student centered approaches to teaching and learning in eighteen Chicago Public Schools. Chicago Students at the Center met with sister projects in New York and Philadelphia for three years (1995-1998) to reflect on ways of deepening student-centered practice.
With additional support from Polk Bros. Foundation, Chicago Students at the Center entered into a collaboration with the Illinois Art Gallery to produce a professional scale show of student artwork at the galleries of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This exhibition of student work was mounted in conjunction with the Illinois Art Gallery show Spiritual Passports/Transformative Journeys. This exhibition was the origin of the CAPE concept of "exhibition as curriculum", which was further developed through the Indivisible, Exchanging Symbols, and Great Migration Project exhibitions. Exhibition as curriculum is now a standard practice in CAPE's annual curriculum fairs.
