Programa (na língua de ensino) | Course description (in language of instruction)
With an emphasis on late 20th century to 21st century art, this programme aims to 1) develop students’ critical thinking and analytical skills through an introduction to different interpretive frameworks and theories that will be used to analyse and contextualise a range of media including painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and installation; 2) examine how artists challenge conventions, categories, power, norms and histories of various artistic movements across a global geography; 3) investigate the ways in which contemporary artistic practices intersect with social and political matters; 4) explore innovations in artistic production, curatorial practices and museum spaces.
