What if a single artifact could bring together everything taught in school—and even reveal new ways of doing so?
In this workshop, teachers, principals, and administrators are invited to take the place of a student: to use their own hands to create an ancient cultural artifact found among different peoples and throughout history around the world. More than just producing an object, the goal is to experience firsthand what happens when knowledge ceases to be fragmented and begins to make sense when brought together.
In the creative process, different disciplines come together naturally, intertwining knowledge.
