The Substation is committed to researching, designing and presenting stimulating and exciting programmes that will instill and nurture critical thinking and creativity in young minds. The Substation has put together four programmes that we hope will contribute to a more holistic educational experience for students.
The four programmes – Contemporary Theatre and Performance, Contemporary Visual Arts, Journey Towards Contemporary Art: Learning and Understanding, and Urban Artology – Reassessing Street Art – were specifically designed to expose and instill a greater awareness of the history, development and artistic techniques of contemporary art forms, while emphasising local artists and art practices.
