Description:

This seminar will address some of the most current and pressing issues in contemporary artmaking, exhibition practices, cultural politics and activism. Seminar readings will address three broad themes: indigenous and decolonial practices, environmental justice, and trans- and hybrid identities (gender, race, nationalism, etc). Students will gain an understanding of their creative work in the contexts of specific localities and global contemporary art as a means to inform their creative research and establish their professional practice. The course is open to all students working across diverse media and disciplines, and is designed as a collaborative workshop, requiring active participation and engagement, with some built-in flexibility around the group’s priorities in terms of readings and assignments.Online course sections will be delivered mostly asynchronously, with some synchronous components that will be outlined in the course syllabus if applicable.
