ALL THE ART YOU HAVEN’T IMAGINED YET: A Book of Art Permissions and Curricular Seedlings (Winnipeg Edition) is a bookwork constructed in its entirety on October 24, 2025, at Pembina Trails Collegiate, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Led by Jorge Lucero, 71 creative practitioners (e.g. teachers/artists/scholars) spent an entire day examining contemporary art for its formal and conceptual “permissions”. These permissions were used to expand our collective imagination about what is possible in both teaching and art making. Hundreds of these permissions are catalogued in this bookwork, followed by a collection of 91 seedlings (half formed ideas) that enable curriculum invention by whomever engages with this bookwork. The bookwork also contains two appendixes with the workshop instructions that have been used by Lucero to do this permission finding, for curriculum-invention/artistic-practice, as a daily project.
