Art in Society II (MUK702)

Content

The course builds on Art in Society I and encourages practical collaboration with a cultural and social institution and/or target group. The student will gain practical knowledge of how artistic projects form part of different social contexts and at the same time have the opportunity to build networks for their professional career. The course can function as an extension of the Master's specialisation and/or the Multi-Artistic Lab and has two possible orientations:

1) Realisation of a performing and/or creative communication project for a specific target group

A. in collaboration with a professional, external client or in societal contexts such as education, health, culture and working life,

B. as part of, for example, a student-run festival or concert series, or

C. in the form of a self-initiated context/community-orientated project.

The dissemination project can be interdisciplinary.

2) Practical collaboration with a cultural institution/actor in an organising, managing or curating role.
