Being Together: A Manual for Living

Grace Ndiritu delves into radical approaches to education, drawing from her self-directed research in alternative, nomadic, and spiritual communities. Her experiences—from Buddhist monasteries to permaculture communities—profoundly shaped her understanding of embodied learning and its relevance in times of social upheaval. Being Together: A Manual for Living reflects on these themes, weaving voices from her social practices to explore collective action and shared destiny within the context of contemporary art education. This second edition, enriched with new essays, deepens the dialogue around these ideas. Published alongside her solo exhibition The Compassionate Rebels, Tools for Everyday Living Part 1 at Page Not Found in The Hague, the book extends the exhibition’s exploration of transformative educational practices and communal living.
