Join students, tutors and friends of MA Culture, Criticism and Curation at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, for an evening of film screenings and discussion exploring artistic and political engagements in Liverpool Biennial 2018.
For several months the students have been researching themes related to the Biennial: its history, the concept of sovereignty, Schiller’s poem, curatorial practice, culture-led regeneration and the ‘aftermath’ of Documenta 14. The project is testing the possibilities of filmmaking as a way of communicating curatorial research. The films will express the personal takes of the group on the Biennial's title Beautiful world, where are you?
Established in 2013, MA Culture, Criticism and Curation works with two distinctive approaches to curating: allying itself to culture as a broad-based field and treating intellectual and practical work as a joined-up form of enquiry. It sees theory and research as foundational to project work, and learning through doing as fundamental to the development of curatorial practice.
