The MA Curating Cultures programme provides an unrivalled opportunity to explore methods and approaches in the curating of the arts of Asia and Africa as well as develop practical curatorial skills in this area.
It is particularly suitable for those who wish to develop in the arts sector or cultural industries whether that be in the context of museums, galleries, festivals, online platforms, biennales, and other display contexts. It will also appeal to practicing professionals in these areas who are interested in strengthening their knowledge and critical outlook.
Themes and issues addressed include: histories and ideologies of curating and exhibitions, theories of collecting, interpreting objects, contemporary issues and debates regarding postmodernism, post-colonialism, repatriation and decolonisation, curating and writing of exhibition texts and interpretation.
Additionally, the MA Curating Cultures programme provides an excellent postgraduate foundation for students interested in pursuing PhD research in the fields of curating and/or Art History/Archaeology of Asia and Africa in general.
