Culture, Criticism and Curation - BA (Hons)

University of the Arts London

BA Culture, Criticism and Curation offers a wide-ranging arts education which embraces design, fine art, architecture, fashion, film, performance and literature. BA Culture, Criticism and Curation draws on a range of methodologies from interdisciplinary practice and critical theories to engage critically with aspects of curation, research and writing. The curriculum takes inspiration from current urgent social issues, history and futurity, exploring connections between core topics, historical context and political issues. The course ambition is to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue to produce future writers, curators, producers, thinkers and doers whose practice is critical and contextual, demonstrating a commitment to the progression of arts, culture and heritage and is alive to the social and cultural contexts and impact of their work. Our approach to curatorial practice and engagement and writing as critical practice focuses on process in relation to outcome. Within an art school context, you are offered opportunities to collaborate and engage with a variety of practices through curatorial projects and writing. Student-centred learning informs critical enquiry and the course’s culture of reflection and active listening.Three years full-time
