During her art talk, Nika will explain why A4kids was an important project for her late husband, anthropologist David Graeber and herself, discuss the role of contemporary education in the reproduction of culture, and show various books from the A4kids series and a video of David Graeber reading excerpts from their collaborative books. She will especially focus on the book “What is a City?” and talk about the different types and ideas of cities presented in that book.
