The Catalyst Club explores different ways of engaging with a rapidly changing, fluid society.
It consists of students, alumni, tutors and various participants from a range of disciplines building together an extracurricular programme.


"The Catalyst Club generates spaces to reflect
on the possibilities of a participatory approach
to higher arts education."

Our TCC activities

Action
Lab

We experiment with dialogical exercises and interventions. These can vary from listening workshops, using physical communication tools, to pancake baking.

Reading Group

A text is shared and discussed in an open dialogue setting. The texts revolve around the educational turn, performative, participant and emergent-based art practices.

Meet
& Greet

Introduction of members of the Minerva community and its extensions, such as a technician, grounds worker, tutor, invited outsider or custodian, as an entity with an identity and role existing outside of their Minerva persona.

At this session,
these individuals will discuss with the group how this external role influences their position both within and outside of the academy itself.
