The Triumph School seeks to become a multi-disciplinary residency and an expanded learning environment; now, however it's just getting its feet wet through the Manual Project. Most importantly, we want to find out from you, our community, what you can envision Triumph to be, both in the short and long term - the project is a vehicle for that. In this way we can discover, together, what we can build the Triumph School into, while also creating, collaborating and having fun! Also, since The Manual is an ongoing project, the first events will inform, or echo, the formation of the program, so, in a way, the project will help us to figure out what The Triumph School will grow into, and will in effect become a sort of running and living blueprint of the school.
The Triumph School
The Manual Project
A diverse group of artists and cultural producers have each written interpretive manuals that will be realized and produced collectively by the participants – you – without the oversight of the authors.
To see manuals from the past year, please visit the archive.
