The Periscope Project: Promo

The Periscope Art & Architecture Educational Institute (PAAEI); is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to progressing alternative methods of knowledge distribution and collaborative content authorship. Focusing primarily on project-based learning initiatives that advance experiments in citizenship and by way of constructing object lessons, PAAEI functions as a parallel school fusing otherwise disparate institutions. Operating at the level of the public realm and working outside of more traditional industrial education systems, the institute promotes investigative as well as performative approaches to spatial literacy, regional urban issues, and the use of creative discipline skill-sets. The Periscope Art & Architecture Educational Institute (PAAEI) operates by way of a student, resident, and project production triad. By conducing a series of short-term residencies, which provide opportunities to interested scholars and serve to incubate a pedagogical distillation of their process, students, whom work alongside or via workshops, gain access to otherwise distant ideas. We hope you will consider supporting our 2013 Summer Program "Urban Labs" for need based youth. We will be working with local area high school students to visual their own neighborhood impacts, and foster creative / contemporary artistic skill-sets.
