Join writer and critical theorist Che Gossett, artist Marissa Delano, and Amant curators Patricia Margarita Hernández, Tobi Maier, and Ian Wallace for a discussion celebrating the launch of the publication accompanying our group exhibition, On Education, on view through August 17.

The publication brings together commissioned essays and artist projects by ten contributors, including a text by Che Gossett on past forms of university mobilizing in the 1960s, early childhood photographs by Marissa Delano exploring trauma, adolescence, and memory, and an in-depth essay on the exhibition by the curators. Echoing the design of educational manuals and yearbooks, the publication invites readers to explore the aesthetic and material traces of learning, and to reflect on how schools and universities remain contested spaces—sites of oppression, resistance, and, at times, liberation—set against the current landscape of education in the US and other geographical contexts.

Copies of the publication will be available for purchase at Amant’s booth during BOMB’s Small Press Flea 2025 and at our bookstore.

On Education includes contributions by Marissa Delano, Nina Geys, Che Gossett, Pablo Helguera, Camille Henrot, Bo-Won Keum, Tressie McMillan Cottom, and Michelle Millar Fisher and a roundtable conversation between Andrea Elera, Silvia Gatti, Choi Heong-Uk, Maksud Ali Mondal, Emily Pethick, Amy Pickles, and Ashfika Rahman
