MA Culture, Criticism and Curation

University of the Arts London

Through critical writing and curating, MA Culture, Criticism and Curation provides a framework for engaging with historical and contemporary culture. MA Culture, Criticism and Curation is a course directed towards critical enquiry and mindful change-making in the fields of culture, curation, art, design and creative production. To equip practitioners with tools that will enable them to actively find their way through a variety of institutional and cultural situations, the Course offers an overview of cultural history and curatorial theory alongside opportunities to acquire skills in research, writing, curating and production. On this Course we address the present moment and pressing questions faced by cultural producers, policy makers, curators, artists and researchers. Approached through interdisciplinary and intercultural enquiry, you will learn to engage with the in-between places where new knowledge is developed via an integration of theory and practice. Through the lens of activism, we explore with you the ways in which culture, criticism and curation can contribute to change, through accumulative small steps or actions.One year full-time (45 weeks)
