Free Home University (FHU) is a pedagogical and artistic experiment started by a group of local and international artists, thinkers, educators and curators in 2014, in Salento. FHU focuses on generating new ways of sharing and creating knowledge, by experiencing life in common. The name gestures toward a non-vertical, energy-liberating, insurgent environment (Free), within an intimate and brave space to inhabit (Home), and the commitment to create an autonomous, engaged community of learners (University).
A full immersion into a collective experience, a coalitional approach in the definition and construction of the inquiry, sharing aspects of life and getting deeper in the context and struggles of our local communities, are fundamental values of this open–ended, research-based experiment in alternative education and aesthetic and political processes.
