What Education?

Eradicate superficial education,
Bring back social consciousness.

Maica Delfino, Sha Najak, Jason Lee, Farhan Razak, Muhammad Faizal

A group visual arts exhibition by tastes+RED inc.

A collaboration between five young like-minded artists from Singapore and the Philippines, We Don’t Need No Education is a group art exhibition that toys with the concept of education; superficiality, normalcy, systems and stereotypes.

It is not about doing away with school, training or knowledge. It is for the elimination of superficial education, one which imposes what is right and wrong for the benefit of a certain few. This education could also be the grip of normalcy and acceptance which mass society and/or rigid systems have on the individual, to shape and restrict actions. Supporters of various social causes, the works of these artists are also intertwined with social connotations.
