Working from a materially diverse basis, this programme engages with a range of empirical, aesthetic, conceptual and material issues that traverse and exceed both 'art' and ‘politics’ to speak with our current contemporaneity.Explore practices and issues related to our current contemporaneity in terms of public space, democracy, equality, participation, states of exception, collectivity, performance and justice.Examine a range of material practices and strategies which, in the encounter between art and politics, play out in numerous forms and very different kinds of social spaces.Develop frameworks and spaces that are mixed and mobile, and which can operate in trans-disciplinary settings. You'll join students from a range of backgrounds and disciplines, meaning that the political character of both theory and material practice take on renewed vigour and urgency.Investigate the potential of art, material practice and trans-disciplinarity in times of political and cultural crisis. During this programme, you will interrogate the relationship between material practices and theory, work within constraints and also within the interstices of artistic, cultural, social and political practices.Choose from a range of option modules that encourage you to work across areas of particular interest to you.
