MA Socially Engaged Arts Practice

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MA: 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time

Course Description

Do you want to empower communities through the power of art? Socially engaged practice involves collaboration and participation with people, through co-authored and co-produced activities that helps to define an environment, attitude or experience, and is often defined by the process of these interactions, rather than an outcome.

Considering pressing issues such as inclusion, mental health awareness, homelessness, amongst many others enables students of this course to explore a wider variety of real-life scenarios and apply an artistic approach and understanding to developing conversations and debate around these areas with relevant stakeholders within a community.

Artists have a history of using their creativity to highlight the topics that matter to them. If you want to be part of the next generation of socially engaged artists – through either full-time or part-time study – our socially engaged arts practice programme is for you.

We are also interested to hear from individuals who may be exploring curatorial or producing roles within social practice as well as artist delivery roles.
