Class of 2021/22

2021 saw us launch In Session FKA GRADJOB into the world with a new structure, new cohort, new partners, new responsibilities, new concerns, new friends and amazing old ones too! This year has been a rollercoaster ride of heartbreak, opportunity, risk, re-invention and solidarity in the arts and for the world at large. We believe, in the words of Irit Rogoff, that education should be a “site of a coming-together of the odd and unexpected – shared curiosities, shared subjectivities, shared sufferings, and shared passions” and we hope that In Session has opened up those possibilities for all those involved this year.⁣

Based in Ayr, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, Edinburgh and Glasgow, our 2021/22 cohort came together each month despite pandemic, strikes and gale force winds. They generously shared their skills, insights and lived experience during workshops, always encouraging, valuing and looking out for each other in the process. The perfect combination of silly, provocative, reflective, thoughtful, open, challenging, resourceful and chill-i-ent each co-contributors brought their unique perspective to the programme.
