MFA 2 Seminar Series

The MFA 2 seminar series is a 4 unit course
facilitated by Art Program faculty and
specifically created for graduating MFA students.
Continuing with the work developed during the
first MFA year this seminar is conceived as an
opportunity to delve into different contemporary
issues and their aesthetic implications. Through
different readings, screenings and presentations
students are expected to strengthen their
analytical capacities, fostering a rigorous
engagement between social problematics and the way
they materialize in the student's art practices.
Objectives of the series are to promote dialog
between the cohort in order to create a shared
vocabulary, engage in different types of
conversation with different art practices,
familiarize students with a diversity of
theoretical, political and artistic traditions,
and assist them in recognizing genealogical
relationships in their practices that can be
explored and built upon.
