Welcome to my Homepage presents THINK Public Schools by Tiffany K. Smith.
Project Description
THINK Public Schools is a fictional charter school system set in a near future where business interests, the gun lobby, and conservative policies have an even firmer grip on American education. Tiffany K. Smith invites visitors to explore THINK through a teacher recruitment website that promotes eyebrow-raising benefits like body cameras, PTSD-blocking drugs, and payment in the school’s own currency. Using dark humor in video performances, digital collage, and web design Smith has created a sharp and cathartic critique of the forces shaping education from the perspective of a classroom veteran.
