What will I learn?
You will build a thorough understanding of contemporary art's major movements, from post-war abstraction through post-internet practice, and learn to apply critical theories including semiotics, psychoanalysis, and postcolonial thought directly to artworks. You will examine the full range of media used today, from painting and performance to bio-art and virtual reality. The course maps global art scenes across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, moving well beyond Eurocentric narratives. You will also study how museums, commercial galleries, and art fairs shape artistic value and careers. Practical skills in curating, art writing, and professional practice are integrated throughout.
