The Exclusion Room
The Exclusion Room
From 2017–18 Alessandra Sormani worked as a part-time art technician in an all-boys Roman Catholic state school in London. By accumulating findings from the art department dating back to the 1950s, she has started an archive specific to the art department: looking at how the curriculum changed over the years in both teaching and learning, access to materials, tools and technology.
