School SOS was founded in 2019 by Kishan San and Pierre Shaw to provide a space for the exploration of creative spatial practices. Today, the organisation is made of a network of like minded thinkers and do-ers, including cutting edge practitioners in the fields of art, design, architecture and spatial practices. We bring together world leading academics and creative practitioners, internationally renowned art galleries and museums to reimagine how public and community space is conceived.

School SOS has organised a host of development programmes, public presentations, workshops, exhibitions, discussions, and research discussions over the past 8 years.

    Over this time we have organised and delivered lectures, workshops and courses nationally and internationally, including at:

    We have collaborated with a number of world leading artist collectives, academics, authors and creative practioners, including:
