From 2011-2015, The Ed Factory’s Teachers Institute Public Symposia and Exhibitions brought together renowned local, national, and global artists, scholars, and writers to engage with educators and the community within public venues across the city.

These twice-yearly gatherings served as a vital forum in the Twin Cities for exploring deep inquiries that challenged conventional educational frameworks through the lens of social theory, art, and social connection.
