Ruth Beale & Amy Feneck have been collaborating as The Alternative School of Economics since 2012. As an “alternative school,” they link artists’ practices with self-education as a way to study economics and economies. They are interested in reciprocal modes of learning and making, and their projects with communities create a framework for investigating political, social, and cultural issues. They use diverse and creative methodologies and collaborate with experts from a variety of disciplines, from sociology and writing, to produce film, graphics, photography, texts, and clothing as forms of activation, dissemination, and reflection. Recent projects include Rabbits Road Institute Library,currently on virtual tour in Barking & Dagenham, The End of the Present, a residency with Arts Catalyst, and True Currency: About Feminist Economics, a podcast series produced as part of a residency at Gasworks, London.
