On BA (Hons) Critical Practice in Fashion Media, you will study fashion media and communication from a critical, practice-based perspective. Critical practice means using the tools of fashion communication to create positive change. During the course you will engage with fashion as a social, cultural, political and technological phenomenon that has the potential to change lives. You will use your skills in critical writing, image-making, moving-image production, curation, socially engaged practice and strategy to work towards social, racial and climate justice.BA Critical Practice in Fashion Media is an experimental, inter-disciplinary and practice-led course that positions fashion media and communication as a potent tool through which to critically engage, confront and intervene in the most pressing issues facing us today.At the heart of this critical practice course is the challenge of the climate crisis. The world in which we live, communicate and interact with each other is becoming increasingly unstable. Accordingly, the course understands critical practice to mean a practice that actively integrates itself in the world in order to transform it. As change-makers of the future, you will develop new forms of critical, creative, and technical skills, enabling you to not only navigate this uncertain terrain but also identify and implement emergent opportunities so as to bring about meaningful change.3 years
