Critical Practice would like to invite you to Parade. This landmark event will explore the diverse, contested and vital conceptions of being in public and will take place in the Rootstein Hopkins Parade Ground at Chelsea College of Art and Design as part of the CCW Graduate School programme of events. Set in a bespoke structure designed by Ola Wasilkowska and Michal Piasecki, with a host of international contributors including staff and students from across the Graduate School. Parade will challenge the lazy, institutionalised model of knowledge transfer. Our modes of assembly, our forms of address and the knowledge we share will be intimately bound.
