I was the coordinator of the eductional program of PUBLICS between 2022 and 2025. 

The Youth Advisory Board is a group of young people working within PUBLICS to implement, question and expand our activities. This collaborative position is a year-long education and employment opportunity for 18-21 year olds.

During their tenure, the Youth Board explored the different practices, languages, and roles they encounter in the art field. In collaboration with local and international professionals, they redefine these notions according to their hopes, needs, and aspirations. PUBLICS and the Youth Board work together on creating a generous space of learning, for the members as much as for our organisation. Addressing questions of access, voice, participation, among others, PUBLICS Youth build the tools to carry their voices as they navigate contemporary culture and art.

PUBLICS Youth partners with the Teen Advisory Boards of Index Foundation (Stockholm) and PRAKSIS (Oslo) as part of the Future Futures network which brings together the three youth groups to share their on-going work and experience.
