Google Meet joining info Video call link: https://meet.google.com/jra-xqdg-xrp ━━━━━━━━━━━▼━━━━━━━━━━━ This course is focused on analyzing the signifiers behind the diverse and complex world that we live in, both analog and digital, through contemporary art forms. Texts from Post-Marxist, feminist and queer theorists will be discussed to encourage critical thinking towards deconstructing the current social norm. The practical aspects of this class seek to highlight political and critical uses of technology in art, to challenge and discuss existing ideas of gender and class, and to creatively embody such discourses in each student’s own studio practice.

No special requirement. But a strong interest in exploring the socio-political context of contemporary fine arts is welcomed.
