What are Open Toolkits?

Open Toolkits are free, open resources created by artists and arts organisations for the purpose of sharing their practices
2024’s cohort of MA Contemporary Art Theory students will each create an Open Toolkit to share with you.
Each Toolkit enables an open way of inhabiting a practice by taking part in it.
An archive of 2023’s Open Toolkits are also published on this site.

The MA CAT Artists’ Toolkits BarCamp seeks to realise The University of Edinburgh’s commitment to the ideals of UNESCO’s 2002 Forum on Open Courseware:
“The University encourages staff and students to create and publish OERs to enhance the quality of the student experience, increase the provision of learning opportunities for all, and contribute to the global pool of open knowledge.”
