What is the conspiracy?

The Conspiracy is Slightly Askew’s educational programming. Based around the idea of exchange, members of Slightly Askew team up with students across the country and abroad to create really cool, new art, and examine each other and the world from a different perspective. The Conspiracy is an exchange between teachers from one community with students in another so that both student and teacher become a giver an receiver of knowledge, and set forth to make changes with both a community conscience and an artistic lens.

Our part of the deal is dedicated to bringing the most innovating information we encounter, the newest skills we develop, and the most exciting methods of creating art that we are currently passionate about.

From our students we expect openness to new ideas and people and a willingness to share with us so that we too can learn from them.
