Engaging directly with urban environments and social spheres, this MA in Public Art and Performative Practices focuses on the intersection of artistic intervention and public space. The curriculum is designed for practitioners who seek to challenge the boundaries between art, performance, and community engagement, moving beyond the gallery setting to create work that resonates in the real world.

Interdisciplinary Engagement

The programme encourages a rigorous exploration of site-specificity, audience interaction, and the socio-political implications of placing work in the public realm. Students are pushed to develop their own critical voice while gaining practical experience in curating, managing, and executing projects that transform public spaces into sites of dialogue and cultural production.

This course is ideal for artists, performers, and cultural workers looking to deepen their theoretical understanding while building a professional portfolio of public-facing projects. By combining studio-based experimentation with critical academic inquiry, the programme prepares graduates to navigate the complex landscape of contemporary public art commissions and performative practice.
