Description
Interdisciplinary Studios extend a student's cross-school experience from Core Studio up into his or her upper division years. 3 units of Interdisciplinary Studio are required of all majors and must be completed in the junior or senior year. This advanced level studio is thematic in nature. Technical demonstrations are paired with thoughtful readings, seminar discussions and ambitious projects. Collaboration, experimentation and presentation skills are developed in concert with critical thinking.

Section Description
Political movements utilize protests, direct action, and symbolic visual gestures to voice dissent, raise awareness, and demand change. Meanwhile, politically engaged art uses figurative language and aesthetics to infiltrate discourse, incite analysis, and find new perspectives. Civil Disobedience & Artistic Unrest asks students to draw inspiration from revolutionary actions while working in the mode of contemporary art. Assignments include staging an interventional performance and constructing a site-specific monument; documentation from these projects will then be built on to create experimental videos. Readings, documentaries, lectures, and discussions will investigate activism organizing around issues of the Black Lives Matter movement and prison abolition, AIDS activism and access to healthcare, feminist responses to sexual violence and anti-racist calls for open borders, and Indigenous resistance and environmentalism.
