A Home for Vivienne Westwood

Part 1 Project 2018

The Art School is under attack! The commodification of education is stifling creative individuality and creating a generation of consumers.

Vivienne Westwood will be the figurehead of a new institution, an Anti-Drawing School. Occupying the territory of the ‘Royal’ Drawing School this creative citadel will be inhabited by her devotees, co-conspirators and sworn enemies. This is a place for radical independence and the staging ground for the next creative revolution.
