About CLiP #7: The Garage of Prepping Otherwise

CLiP (Collective Learning in Practice) is an educational program organized by Kunstinstituut Melly. For this edition, curated by the art-education collective The Garage School, young participants explore collective survival in times of global crisis. Over six months (October 2025–March 2026), participants develop skills and tools for collective survival through a mix of creative and practical methods, including discussion, movement, LARPing, food preservation, and mutual aid. They also produce monthly “letters to the future(s) we are preparing for” in any form: text, video, performance, or collage. Outcomes, such as exhibitions, radio shows, or public LARPs, are created collaboratively.
