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.
