AW CLASSROOM (est. 2019) is a series of classes and talks pushing the boundaries of art history and the future of how it should be taught. The series includes in person and virtual art history classes and talks with contemporary creatives and visionaries of color, hosted by curator Kiara Cristina Ventura.

Combating Western/white cis male centered art history classes and curriculums, AW Classroom educates the public about modern and contemporary artists of color outside of traditional university walls. Offering accessible classes around NYC and beyond, AW Classroom has taught at the Miranda Kuo Gallery, the Gavin Brown Enterprise, VICE headquarters, various artist & collectors' living rooms, Rep.club LA, 8Ball Collective Headquarters, Ghetto Gastro, Bronx Art Space and more.
