Geetha Narayanan has dedicated her life to finding and establishing new models of educational institutions that are creative, synergistic and original in their approach to learning. To know that she worked for many years with Seymour Papert indicates the type of thinking that energizes her work. Geetha talked fervently about bringing people, technology and learning together within a new conceptual framework. She has been involved in education for the past two decades as an administrator, teacher, researcher,facilitator, teacher educator, and instructional designer. Geetha actively works to empower teachers in India by establishing action research and other participatory initiatives. Her new initiative is called Project Drishya (Vision) and it is a collaboration with NGOs, academics and designers. The project aims to create sustainable livelihoods by empowering and teaching the children of India's growing urban poor communities. Geetha's primary focus areas are Co-conceptualising and building a networked and open institutional space that merges the contemporary art practices with design thinking and new digital technologies. For over 25 years she has been Ideating, advocating, conceptualizing and implementing new pedagogical forms (such as studio labs, the interim semester) that enable and support a more integrated and less balkanized form of art and design instruction; one that is acceptable to both students and teachers in the Indian context. Developing and implementing programmes that blend design thinking, problem, project or place based learning with new digital technologies Developing business models that sustain a creative community of students and faculty through the conceptualization, development and implementation of various forms of educational entrepreneurship Collaborating with the curator and artist Dr. Clementine de Liss on the Indian part of what Clementine calls her Future Academy Art and Research project.
